Andreas, it was this part of the expression that caused the problem on OS X:

\([ "$'\t'"]\|$\)

I dont recall what it was exactly, but I think it was the dollar sign
embedded in the or.

I tested that "/bin/sed -ne 's/root/superuser/p' /etc/passwd" works on
Solaris; I wont be near OS X until next monday, but it should be
similar to Solaris.
