I have patched ed.ex and search.ex using the "work around" described by J.Brown; and uploaded these demos to the mercurial SCM.

A bug ticket, #802 Linux position(), has been created.

I don't know how to create a real fix for this bug.

I took the liberty of adding a couple of comments to bug ticket #802. Basically, I think the two patches, though functional, are slightly mis-positioned as far as code clarity. And I tried to consolidate Jim Brown's forum comments describing the two bugs as a slightly different bugs located in the same region of code - a failure to initialize screen position correctly (ed.ex) and a failure to update internal line count, screen-line, in "be_w.c"

I hope these comments will help. Kenneth Rhodes
