Actually, my favorite was 2.5.18, "Regular Expression Handling". To
date, that's the only response I've seen to the SPR ICA-6498 that
we filed on 5/5/87 (though on 4/4/88 SPR administration told me that
the reply was sent on 3/31).
Section 2.5.18 reports that there are limits to the length of the
regular expression that can be handled by ed, ex and the grep type
commands. [Surprise?] The SPR reported that the limit will sometimes
be exceeded by the command /usr/bin/calendar. When the month ends on
a Saturday or Sunday, the regular expression generated on the last
Friday will be longer than egrep can handle and calendar will abort.
Don't expect Ultrix v{1.1,1.2,2.0,2.2} "calendar" to remind you of
anything important on Friday, April 29, 1988!
