So in C locale where each byte is supposed to be a single character,
that implementation of "sed" refuses to match a byte with high-bit
set when given a pattern '.'?

That is a surprising breakage, I would have to say.

Can anybody with a more vanilla BSD try the above out and report
what happens?  I am mostly interested to see if this was inherited
from BSD or something MacOS introduced.
