ELBA-2026-8100 - sed bug fix and enhancement update

Type:	BUG
Impact:	NA
Release Date:	2026-04-14

Description

[4.5-6]
- lib/dfa.c: Increase the maximum size of the transitions table
- After changes introduced between sed 4.2 and 4.4, some regexps
started to hit the table size limits. This lead to repeated deletion
and rebuilding of the table, leading to massive performance drops.
While the core issue is still present, this change should at least
help by moving the threshold of the regexp complexity that triggers the
table rebuilds.
- Resolves: RHEL-17133
