Symptoms:
	PHCO_28633:
	( SR:8606293805 CR:JAGae57544 )
	ed(1) cannot handle files having lines more than 2048
	characters.

	( SR:8606309835 CR:JAGae72710 )
	ed(1) doesn't work as expected with = operator.

	( SR:8606309840 CR:JAGae72715 )
	ed(1) gives incorrect output for .= operator when
	environment variable 'UNIX95' is set.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_28633:
	( SR:8606293805 CR:JAGae57544 )
	ed(1) was unable to handle files having line length
	more than 2048 characters.
	Steps to reproduce the problem is as below:
	1) Create a file with a line of length 2050 characters.
	2) Run ed(1) on the file.
	3) Use help (h) to check for the error message.

	For example:
	$ perl -e 'print "l" x 2050' > file
	$ echo >> file
	$ ed file
	?
	h
	ed: Line too long.

	Resolution:
	ed(1) is modified to handle files having line length
	up to 4096.

	( SR:8606309835 CR:JAGae72710 )
	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.

	Steps to reproduce the problem is as below:

	Open a testfile using ed(1) which has minimum two lines:
	For example:
	$ ed prog
	3321
	1
	#! /usr/bin/ksh
	=
	1
	In place of '1' ed(1) should display the last line
	number.

	Resolution:
	Code is modified to correct the behavior.

	( SR:8606309840 CR:JAGae72715 )
	ed(1) operator .= gives incorrect output when UNIX95
	set. The operator .= behaves wrongly, once operator
	= or $= is used.

	Steps to reproduce the problem is as below:

	Open a testfile using ed(1) which has minimum two lines:
	$ export UNIX95=1
	$ ed prog
	3221
	1
	#! /usr/bin/ksh
	=
	137
	$=
	137
	.=
	137
	The current line has moved from 1st line to last line.
	The last line should display '1' in place of '137'.

	Resolution:
	The behavior of .= operator is rectified after setting
	the current line.

Enhancement:
	No
