Recently, I posted a message in which I asked how to make a sed script like
this:

:rcv
/^Received:/N
/^Received:.*\n[ 	]/ { s/\n//; b rcv }
/^Received:/D

I got no answer.

I installed GNU sed and had the same problem with it.

The reason is that `:', `b' and `t' commands skip all blanks between the command
and the label but accepts ANY character afterwards except EOF and
new-line. So, a `:', `b' or `t' command must be terminated with a new-line and
the terminating `}' of the `{ ... }' must be on a separate line.

In GNU sed, it was very simple to correct it. I guest it is the same on standard
sed.

Also, man pages do not mention anything about it and do not say what characters
can be used to separate commands in a `{ ... }' group.
