Bug#477670: sed --posix non posix-compliant wrt backslashes in replacement string of the 's' command

[Paolo Bonzini]

I stated in the beginning that it was too aggressive for \ as in the
sources, characters other than numbers fall into a default in a switch

statement without taking \ or & into account, as I remember.

Is my understanding of the spec correct and is this indeed a bug of the
--posix option ?

Yes, I think so.

Paolo
