Re: Bug: rebase when an author uses accents in name on MacOSx

At a guess (I haven't tested) every Gnu sed from 4.2.1 down on Darwin and perhaps FreeBSD.  The fink developer looking at the sed giving problems (Gnu sed 4.2.1) says that it gets its charset idea from nl_langinfo() which reports US-ASCII for LC_ALL=C or POSIX (on Darwin, derived from FreeBSD).  Since US-ASCII is only 7-bit chars anything accented will break.

I did show that sed was broken and have provided a minimal, reproducible test.

I have reported it to the sed maintainers and they are working on it.

Great. Do we know yet which versions are affected?
