Problem Text The tests may fail on implementations that adhere to POSIX.2b rather than POSIX.2 behavior and treat <addr1>,<addr2><command><count> to mean <addr2>,<addr2+count-1><command>. The test assertions listed test an area of POSIX.2 which the POSIX.2 interpretation committee has determined to be in error (see IEEE interpretations PASC 1003.2-92 #64, question #9). Historically, when a range and count are specified the starting line for the command is taken to be the last line addressed by the range. The correct behaviour is described in POSIX.2b draft.11 section 5.10.7.5 page 141 lines 799-803. This affects all commands that accept both a range and a count (change, delete, join, list, number, #, print, s, &, ~, yank, <, >). Note that in some instances VSC writes a journal message indicating future change in POSIX.2. Our implementation conforms to the draft POSIX.2b standard which mandates this historical practice. Since this area of the specification is subject to change, we request a temporary interpretation allowing historical practice.
