    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations because the n suffix command
    results are not in the proper order in the expected output.

    The suite evidently expects the suffix command to be executed before
    the G command has finished completely. We believe this is contrary to
    the XPG4 standard. The expected output for the G command and its suffix
    show a prompt, followed by the same line printed again in the style of
    the "n" command, followed by the output of the command in response to
    the G prompt (.=):

    line 2 changed by the c command
    2 line 2 changed by the c command
    2

    The XCU publication states "... any command ... can be suffixed by the
    letter l, n, or p; in which case ... the command is executed and then
    the new current line will be written as described below under the l,
    n, or p commands."

    The suffix applies to the command "G/he/" and it is this command which
    must be executed before the "n" suffix command is executed. We
    believe the suffix should be executed only after the G command has
    completely finished: after all lines matching the regular expression
    have been exhausted and the user-supplied commands for each prompt has
    been executed.
