is this on a fairly recent freebsd -STABLE system?  if so, there were
some recent changes to sed that were merged from -CURRENT with one
critical bugfix not merged.  the offending bug has been fixed
(according to what i read on the lists, i haven't seen myself), so if
you cvsup to a more recent -STABLE and rebuild sed, it might be fixed.
if it isn't, then you should send a message about this to the freebsd
people, as sed is a damn important thing to have broken.
