Yuck - that means if /tmp is mounted differently than ., then using mkostemp(,0) will force the wrong line endings (converting binary to text, or converting text to binary, depending on which direction the mismatch is between the mount modes). If you aren't creating the temp file in the same mount point as the target, then you cannot blindly rely on automatic mount point file modes to do the right thing.
It's buggy anyway in all released versions of sed. I'll probably make the change---just, not yet.
