sed 4.2.1 BUG Report

[Newt Ralphson]

comment '#' delimited lines result in error if they contain () or <> or other 
'parseable' sed command characters
(debian 2.6.32-35 - gcc 4.3.5 (debian 4.3.5-4))

this works :

#!/bin/sh
#   input lines of the form (from bpmdj bpmcount):
#   <artist> ' - ' <title> '(' <version> ').ogg' \n <bpm.dec> <cruft> \n
#


<snip>

this doesn't work:

#!/bin/sh
#   sed script to convert dir2bpm output to .csv
#


cat "$1" | sed -n '
    :x

    #   input lines of the form:
    #   <artist> ' - ' <title> '(' <version> ').ogg' <bpm> <cruft>    N
