  Modified:    usr.bin/sed  compile.c
  Log:
  Yet^2 another fix for the line continuation bug.
  
  The fundamental problem with the original code is that it accesses
  p[-2] which is one before the beginning of the input buffer for
  empty lines.  rev.1.6 just moved the problem from failures when
  p[-2] happens to be '\\' to failures when it happens to be '\0'.
  rev.1.5 was confused about the trailing newline and other things.
  
  I went back to rev.1.5 and fixed it.  The result is the same as
  Keith Bostic's final version in PR 1356 except it loses more
  gracefully for excessively long input lines.
