What were you trying to do?
I accidentally omitted the space after the -e:
sed -e's/a/b/'
What's wrong:
It aborted with 'Segmentation violation'.
What should have happened:
sed ought to check the number of parameters it gets to detect the
error and print a usage message or as meaningful an error message
as any unix program ever does.
