I believe i've found a bug in gnu-sed.  Consider the following:

   % cat > foo
   +F+
   +F
   F+
   % /usr/bin/sed -e 's/\+F\+/f/g' < foo
   f
   +F
   F+
   % /usr/local/bin/gsed -e 's/\+F\+/f/g' < foo
   f+
   f
   F+
   
It works fine without the backslashes, but...

ps. This bug screws up the installation of procmail, a mail sorter.
