Re: sed version 3.02

[Uwe F Mayer]

  sed --version
  GNU sed version 3.02

  echo '00' | sed -e 's/^0*\([0-9]\)/\1/'
  00

I tried this on the following systems, all version 3.02 of GNU sed:

  CYGWIN_NT-5.0 PCUFM 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i686 unknown
  Linux snap6 2.4.7-10smp #1 SMP Thu Sep 6 17:09:31 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
  SunOS curly 5.8 Generic_108528-04 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80
