Ah, well there you go.  Current sed on cygwin (which I am using) is GNU 
sed version 4.0.5.

Certainly; I understand the need for the patch, and it has my vote.  It 
seems that sed-4.0.5 is a little more relaxed on this detail, while 
sed-3.02 chokes.  We don't want sed to choke, and both sed-4.0.5 and 
sed-3.02 are "happy" with your patch -- so it ought to be applied.

Thanks,
