Problem with "ed"

[mikem388]

I apologize if this is the wrong place to send this question.
This a little test I'm doing that doesn't seem to work, but I can't see 
anything wrong with it. Is this a bug?  I tried this on several 
distribution, including Fedora core 4, with the same results.

# Create an input file
cat << \EOF > -infile
aaa
bbb
aaa
EOF

#Create an input command file
cat << \EOF > cmdfile
1,$s/aaa/bbb/
w
q
EOF

#This command fails with or without '-s' option.
ed -s -- -infile < cmdfile

#The command returns a ?
echo $?
#returns 4. Don't have a clue what this means.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
