Wow, they are more confusing.  I think no one can tell
why the followings are so different.

$ seq 1 10 | sed -n '/[1256789]/ {; 1,+3p; }'
1
2
5

$ seq 1 10 | sed -n '/[1256789]/ {; 2,+3p; }'
2
5

$ seq 1 10 | sed -n '/[1256789]/ {; 3,+3p; }'
5
6
7
8

I wish sed behavior is more intuitively predictable.
