[Bug-ed] ed fails to build

[Martin Zobel-Helas]

Hi Antonio,

from time to time I see build failures with ed. It fails in the test suite.

It always fails at:

chmod a+x red
make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd-ed_1.8-1-s390-f3kHz8/ed-1.8'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd-ed_1.8-1-s390-f3kHz8/ed-1.8'
   dh_auto_test -a
        make -j1 check
make[1]: Entering directory `/build/buildd-ed_1.8-1-s390-f3kHz8/ed-1.8'
building test scripts for ed-1.8...
testing ed-1.8...
*** Output e1.o of script e1.ed is incorrect ***
*** Output r3.o of script r3.ed is incorrect ***
make[1]: *** [check] Error 127
tests failed.

See https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=ed and 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640341 for details.

Ideas welcome.

Best regards,
Martin
