Hi Matthieu,

The command `,,p` prints the entire buffer in GNU ed (1.14.2).
However, one of the last sections of the Posix page on ed (
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/ed.html )
explicitly notes that `,,` is the range `$,$`, not `1,$`. BSD ed on
OSX follows the Posix spec and prints the last line only.

Thanks for pointing this out. It seems the changes I made to ed 1.14.2 to meet the posix spec were not complete. I'll work on this as soon as I find the time.


Best regards,
Antonio.
