Program: sed 1.11
OS: SunOS 4.1.2
Machine: Sun4c
C-compiler: gcc 2.2.2
----------------------------------------
Problem: When I do

		echo foo bar | sed 'y/ /\n/'

	I get

		sed: Extra characters after command

	When I run the same command with Sun's version
	of sed it changes all spaces to newlines.

	I don't know if this is a bug or a "feature".
	Maybe there is a SysV-behaviour and a BSD-behaviour?
