tags 482268 + patch
thanks
Tracked it down to libkatepart in the kdelibs package.
The code already had support in case the search & replace added
newlines to the text, but didn't treat \n or \r specially in the
replacement text. The patch makes \0...\9, \\, \n and \t behave
as they do in sed.
It also fixes the crash. :)
