    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations that conform to POSIX
    1003.2b/D11 vi behavior.

    The test assertions listed test an area of POSIX.2 which the POSIX.2
    interpretation committe has determined to be in error (see IEEE
    interpretations PASC 1003.2-92 #64, question #33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38,
    53, 54, 55; PASC 1003.2-92 #78, question #11, 15).

    Historically, c, C, s, and S commands only ripplied buffers if the region being
    replaced spanned at least one <newline>. The C command is equivalent to
    c$, in which case a single C command will NOT ripple the numeric buffers,
    because the motion $ does not include the <newline>. The correct behaviour
    is described in POSIX.2b draft.11 section 5.10.7.5 page 142 lines 848-860
    and section 5.35.7.2.47 page 227 lines 3919-3922.

    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.
