bug#26879: end-of-line issue with cygwin 4.4-1 sed 4.4

[Dick Dunbar]

Got it.  Thanks for the examples.  I guess I don't understand why my little
filter worked for so many years on so many platforms that I never gave it
a second thought ... or ever tried to over-think the problem.

I'll go back to MobaXterm environment and retry my code.
If it works ... I'll remove cygwin and never look back.

I'm having what you would call a "crisis of confidence".  :-)

- Cheers
