Description Emanuele Giaquinta (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-13 13:20:55 UTC 
When using a \N reference with the 's' command and the reference is invalid sed prints N + 1 as the invalid reference number.You can test it easily with the following command:

echo 'something' | sed 's/\(.*\)/\2/'

The attached patch, from upstream, fixes the issue.
