b20.1: does not handle newlines well

With bash try

# ( echo a; echo b ) | sed "s/
/x/g"

-> sed: -e expression #1, char2: Unterminated 's' command

Or try this (shouldn't work, but just in case)

# ( echo a; echo b ) | sed "s/\
/x/g"

sed: -e expression #1, char 6: No previous regular expression

Or (just to make sure):

# ( echo a; echo b ) | sed "s/\n/x/g"

a
b

I have some problems with scripts and continued lines (backslashed
newline)
too, but I can't pin it down. I think the first version should work (at
least it
does with my Linux box).

cygcheck.out attached.

Bye
