  • Fix the assumption in edEdit() that >0 bytes will be read from input file; it might be empty
  • Error discovered with "perl ed some.txt" then "1r EMPTYFILE" ... Modification of non-creatable array value attempted, subscript -1 at ed line 722.
  • Follow GNU ed and print the number of characters read (0)
  • I found that the default calculation of $CurrentLineNum was correct for all cases of insert mode, so use that
