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?

The useflags are the same on both systems:
# emerge -epv sed

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] sys-devel/patch-2.5.9  -build -debug -static 0 kB
[ebuild  N    ] sys-devel/gnuconfig-20050324  0 kB

[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/sed-4.1.4  -bootstrap -build -debug +nls -static 0 kB

So as for sed version:
# sed --version
GNU sed version 4.1.4

The big differences are hardware & kernel:

Working SED:
Linux stallman 2.6.8-gentoo-r7 #7 Mon May 23 17:24:53 BRT 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Broked SED:
Linux eden 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 #1 Sat May 21 18:01:34 BRST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

Both machines have Toll-Chains up2date...


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 ;))

Probably, but my worries are about SED. If it starts failing my world will not make sense any more :/  (neither my scripts, that controls about everything at my lab)
