Hi

I have a problem with sed on one of my systems.

Lets take the following command:

sed -e '/^\([a-z_][a-z_]*\) /s//\1 gen_/'

On all other systems the input would be transformed:
int something() -> int gen_something()

On the broken system, the transformation is not done:
int something() -> int something()

The broken system used to be 4.6-STABLE but I managed to upgrade it to 
4.11-RELEASE-p11, hoping that the update procedure will fix the sed, but 
apparently not. Imagine the make buildworld without working sed :) 
Anyway I generated the files on other working system so I managed to get 
through the buildworld part. Installkernel and installworld did not used 
sed so no problems there.

Does anybody have some ideas, what would be the reason? I tested the sed 
command also on 4.8-RELEASE and 4.10-STABLE where it works nicely. Even 
copied the sed over from working systems but no luck.
