I was playing around with this, and it seems to be working fine for me. Are
you using two different versions of sed? Any major differences between the
two systems? Identical scripts?
In any event, all the sed statement does is colourize the help output, so if
you just want the script to work you can change this line (line 94):
cat <<END | help_fmt
to:
cat <<END
and it should work just fine for you. (I think ;))
