Blank lines

Possible Bug

While trying to perform this task "Exchange the line containing Paco with 
the line containing Vinh" , I came across this error.

The solution should be "sed -e '/Vinh/h' -e '/Paco/x' datebook"
Datebook is the filename.
Paco is on the 13th line and Vinh is on the 27th line of datebook.
Every time I run the sed command above, I get a blank line on line 13, with 
every other line printing okay.
Basically trying to replace line 13 with line 27 you get a blank line for 
line 13; but replacing line 27 with line 13 works ok
i.e "sed -e '/Paco/h' -e '/Vinh/x' datebook"

I have tried replacing all lines with line below them, I still get a blank 
line; but it works replacing or exchanging bottom lines with top lines .

I hope you understand my explanation.
kind regards
Mr. Kaye Odedina
