I thought about this construct, but I decided not to fix since the right 
fix is not to depend on GNU sed at all.

I think "sed" is supposed to be the native sed, while $sed is GNU
sed. Anyway, it's all very dirty and should be cleaned up ASAP.

However, if I don't find a better solution soon I'll add </dev/null where
appropriate.
