Symptoms:
	PHCO_23892:
	1. ed(1) doesn't work as expected with = operator.

	2. ed(1) operator .= gives incorrect output when UNIX95 set.

	3. ed(1) core dumps on file containing (n)k - 2 lines.

	4. ed(1) fails to expand multibyte characters.

	5. ed(1) fails to handle multiple instances of
	   SIGHUP signal.

	6. ed(1) has inconsistencies in the 'G' command.
	   (UNIX95 Behavior)

Defect Description:
	PHCO_23892:
	1. ed(1) doesn't work as expected with = operator.
	   After the current line for the file in the
	   buffer has been changed, = and $= displays
	   the current line number instead of the last line.
	Resolution:
	   Code is modified to correct the behavior.

	2. ed(1) operator .= gives incorrect output when UNIX95
	   set. The operator .= behaves wrongly, once operator
	   = or $= is used.
	Resolution:
	   The behaviour of .= operator is rectified after setting
	   the current line.

	3. ed(1) core dumps on file containing (n)k - 2 lines. If
	   a line is added to a file having (n)k - 2 lines, and
	   then delete for the current line is performed on it,
	   ed(1) dumps core.
	Resolution:
	   Code is modified to correct the behavior.

	4. The test suite for command ed(1) fails on 11.10 ic11A
	   only, when locale is set to ja_JP.SJIS.
	Resolution:
	   Code is modified to correct the behavior.

	5. ed(1) fails to handle multiple instances of SIGHUP
	   signal.
	Resolution:
	   Now, ed(1) signal handler handles multiple instances
	   of SIGHUP signal.

	6. ed(1) has inconsistencies in the 'G' command.
	   (UNIX95 Behaviour)
	Resolution:
	   Code is modified to handle the inconsistencies.
