If it ends up being important to find the root cause of the "sed" problem,
see if changing shells makes the problem disappear. I've had sed lines in
shell scripts which ran fine under bash, crash & burn under dash.

(If you're doing any of this on embedded boxes, the sed is also different
-- it's just a link to busybox.)

Having hacked past the problem, you may not care, but it's worth noting for
the next time.
