In that case I fear we are seeing a bug.
I have used the following batch file to check
all windows and dos versions available to me:

-----------------------------------------------
del *.txt

: Compiled with 2.03
a3 > a3.txt
sed "s/pipapo/qwertz123/" file.txt > file
mv -vf file file.txt
a3 >> a3.txt
del file.txt

: Compiled with 2.04
a4 > a4.txt
sed "s/pipapo/qwertz123/" file.txt > file
mv -vf file file.txt
a4 >> a4.txt
del file.txt

: Compiled with CVS repository code
a5 > a5.txt
sed "s/pipapo/qwertz123/" file.txt > file
mv -vf file file.txt
a5 >> a5.txt
del file.txt
-----------------------------------------------


All results are identical on all systems.  I will
print only the result for a5 (Compiled with CVS
repository code).  The only difference to the other
results is that they do not have "before" and after"
entries:


Win98SE
before: 0
after: 0
before: 0
after: 0
fwrite(fw) OK (7): pipapo
fread(fr) OK (0):
fread(fr) OK (7): pipapo
before: 10
after: 0
before: 0
after: 0
fwrite(fw) OK (7): pipapo
fread(fr) OK (0):
fread(fr) OK (7): pipapo

MSDOS 7.1
before: 0
after: 0
before: 0
after: 0
fwrite(fw) OK (7): pipapo
fread(fr) OK (0):
fread(fr) KO (0):
before: 10
after: 0
before: 10
after: 10
fwrite(fw) OK (7): pipapo
fread(fr) KO (7): qwertz1 AT k

@
fread(fr) OK (7): qwertz1 AT k

@


The bottom line is again, all windows versions work, all dos versions fail.
