hi list,


both behavior and code indicate that split(1)'s  `-e' (split by regular 
expression) doesn't play along with either `-n' (line count) or `-f' (output 
file prefix). the former is somewhat understandable, but the later is strange 
in lieu of `-s' (output file suffix) working just fine.

that by accident or is there some rationale?
