Oh dear, that's embarrassing, my ``/tmp`` (and all of ``/``) was full. The problem wasn't ``sed`` but the ``<<<`` I think. I've never seen ``<<<`` before. Most people seem to just ``echo "$2" | ...`` instead.
plowdown works fine now that I've made some space on /tmp Sorry for the fuss. -- Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
