1. an empty lien in the input file will be removed in the output file
2. the more serious issue is that any line that has teh pattern "123" will be completely removed. Example:

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
