But mind you,
in preparation of this email i found a bug in
Busybox sed(1) which simply echoes nothing for the above.
I assume that * is a typo for - . If so, sed did just what

Or, you know, l (the letter ell). Which busybox sed appears to not
support at all, rather than somehow misapplying -n to it.
