Hi,
try this:
$ echo | sed -e 'a\\'
in sed-4.0.9-2 and sed-4.1.2-1: The old one produces a backslash,
the new one doesn't. Unfortunately, this breaks a makefile I use
for generating LaTeX output ...
Can this be a side effect of the change described below? Will this
be stable or is it a bug?

[...]
when a \ is used to escape the character that would terminate an
operand
of the s or y commands, the backslash is removed before the regex
is
compiled.
