Yeah, I realize that now, and I knew that /usr/ucb was positively ancient.
I've never messed with my path and /usr/ucb was put up there in the
front by sysadmin( I'm sure for some reason ), so I'll temporarily
rearrange my path and ask the apropriate sysadmin people here
for a clarification
An actual problem with sed( /usr/ucb/sed ) in backuprecover-22.
I guess my biggest complaint is that sanity.sh is completely dependent
on your path, and that I don't see a real good way of getting around
this problem....
