Hi David,
"everybody" knows that BLADE_0.x /bin/sed often core dumps, and that
a replacement version is available in ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp/misc.
But this point could be mentionned in the section 2.2 of the FAQ.

Here below is a shell script which causes a segmentation fault on
Linux/alpha BLADE-0.3:

# when this script begins by:
#!/bin/sh
# there is no pb.,
# else it makes a Segmentation fault on Linux/alpha BLADE_0.3
# fr 11-jan-96
ME=`basename $0`
echo $ME

Funny, isn't it ?
