8 If the user types an input/request line longer than 512 characters,
9 qedx will overwrite parts of the stack causing subsequent faults or
10 fatal process errors.

13 The "wake_tbl" tty_ mode, which causes the user's process to only
14 be awoken when a "\" is typed, is not reset if the current buffer
15 overflows ie: exceeds 1044480 characters during input.

18 qedx should not create files whose names require the use of quoting
19 or special control arguments eg: rename's "-name" as the
20 manipulation of such files pose severe problems for naive and not
21 so naive users. Thus, qedx should reject the use of whitespace,
22 command language characters ";, starname characters *?,
23 and equalname characters =% when creating a new file.

26 qedx ignores empty buffers when deciding whether to ask for permis-
27 sion to exit with modified buffers. However, the list of
28 modified buffers displayed in the query includes empty buffers.
29 Empty buffers should not be listed. This is a bug because a user
30 will not be able to reset the modified state of these buffers as
31 qedx does not allow the user to write an empty buffer but the
32 empty buffers will continue to be listed as long as there is one
33 non-empty, modified buffer.

36 Given the following sequence of qedx requests:
37 r FILE
38 bother $a \b0 \f
39 the text appended to buffer "other" will not contain the contents
40 of the file that was just read into buffer "0".

42 0007 phx15204 phx18060
43 Given the following sequence of requests in an empty buffer:
44 .r FILE
45 1p 1,$d
46 .r FILE
47 1p 1,$d
48 .r FILE
49 1p
50 the first read request will execute properly. However, the second
51 read request will insert a NUL at the beginning of the file as
52 seen by the print request. The third and subsequent read requests
53 will insert a newline at the beginning of the file.
