sed scripts confused by "redefining \!"

[shiblon]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 88

I have been compiling a rather long tex file using the memoir class. My .log file happens
to contain the line

LaTeX Info: Redefining \! on input line 10866.

Apparently, one of the sed scripts used by the makefile incorrectly parses it as an
error; not sure, but I think the problem is in this regexp:

-e 's/.*\(\n\{0,\}! .*\)/$(C_ERROR)\1$(C_RESET)/p' \

on line 1671 in 2.2.0-rc1

Wow, that's a great bug.  I'll see what I can do to fix it :)

On line 1641, try inserting the following:

-e '/LaTeX Info: Redefining \\!/d'

And let me know if it works.

Also, if you can attach a minimal example of a file that triggers this, that would
be extremely helpful.

r7393671ae568 has the change in it in case you don't want to patch it yourself.

The modification doesn't seem to fix it.
A minimal example is:

\documentclass{memoir}
\begin{document}
This is a minimal example
\end{document}

r9ad120ea66db is another attempt to fix this more generally.  Thanks for the minimal
example - I'll give that a go.

I just tested the new revision on your minimal example, and it appears to work, thankfully
:)
