I think the problem is with the creation of affixes from dictionary,
in which sed is not involved:
	Collecting input.
	Finding flag marker.
	Generating roots and affixes.
	Expanding dictionary into EXPANDEDPAIRS.
	Creating list of legal roots/flags.
	Creating list of flags that participate in cross-products.
	Finding prefix and suffix flags.
	Creating awk script.
	Creating cross expansions (pass 0).
	Finding illegal cross expansions (pass 0).
	Creating cross expansions (pass 1).
	Finding illegal cross expansions (pass 1).
	Creating cross expansions (pass 2).
	Finding illegal cross expansions (pass 2).
	Creating cross expansions (pass 3).
	Finding illegal cross expansions (pass 3).
	Finding roots of cross expansions.

	Illegal affix flag character 'a'

	Illegal affix flag character 'a'

	Illegal affix flag character 'a'

	etc.

There is another buglet in the munchlist script (the 'SIGNED' variable
is incorect), which is fixed in the last version.

What exactly is the sed problem?

Jean-Marc.
