+       * tests/misc/printf-surprise: Correct sed transform.
+       Reported by Bob Proulx.
+
        Add example inspired by "make dist" running gzip and lzma in sequence.
        * doc/coreutils.texi (tee invocation): Show how to run tar just
        once, compressing the tee'd output streams in parallel.
