Someone appears to have inadvertently fixed this between 8.x and CURRENT:
[gcooper@bayonetta
/scratch/src/head/tools/regression/usr.bin/hexdump]$ sed 's/games:/d'
/etc/passwd
sed: 1: "s/games:/d": unterminated substitute in regular expression
[gcooper@bayonetta /scratch/src/head/tools/regression/usr.bin/hexdump]$ uname -a
FreeBSD bayonetta.localdomain 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #2: Thu
Mar 4 13:16:39 PST 2010
gcooper@bayonetta.localdomain:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BAYONETTA amd64
This statement makes much more logical sense than the one
currently reported in 8-STABLE.
I believe r197362 did the trick, but I need to verify whether or
not this is true. If it isn't that change then it's most likely
r197361.
Thanks,
