>Description:
csplit includes the lines of matching context lines for inner matches when using repeated matches.

I don't know if this is correct or not. The GNU version of csplit doesn't do it.

My discovery and investigation is documented: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8373793/how-can-i-split-a-file-up-by-matching-lines-context/8374825
>How-To-Repeat:
#!/bin/sh

test -e

work="$(basename $0).$RANDOM"
mkdir $work

csplit -sk -f "$work/" - '/#/' '{9999}' <<EOF
First
#
Second
#
Third
EOF

if [ $(grep -c '#' $work/01) -eq 2 ]; then
  echo FAIL Repeat
else
  echo PASS Repeat
fi

rm $work/*

csplit -sk -f "$work/" - '/#/' '/#/' <<EOF
First
#
Second
#
Third
EOF

if [ $(grep -c '#' $work/01) -eq 2 ]; then
  echo FAIL Exact
else
  echo PASS Exact
fi

uname -a
