Comment(by leif):

 Replying to [comment:3 drkirkby]:
 >  * I was not aware of that shorter sed sequence. I just found the 'cat'
 a bit amuzing.

 Yes, though I love cats. One of my favorites is:
 {{{
 #!sh
 sed -n "/[Vv]ersion/s/ *| *//gp" $SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage-banner
 }}}
 (Spaces in {{{$SAGE_LOCAL}}} are forbidden, otherwise we'd need quotes
 there.)

 Note that the original version gives two lines for non-finals; it does
 '''not''' remove the vertical bars (nor the whitespace) because the pipe
 symbol is "superfluously" escaped: :)
 {{{
 #!sh
 lei...@portland:~/Sage/sage-4.5.alpha4-serial$ ./sage -v
 | Sage Version 4.5.alpha4, Release Date: 2010-07-06                  |
 * Warning: this is a prerelease version, and it may be unstable.     *
 }}}

 More important, the discussion is still somewhat off-topic or off-ticket,
 since - as mentioned - the error messages do not originate from {{{sage-
 sage}}}, so the issue has to be fixed elsewhere.

 > I'll have to look at this, but its not exactly the most serious Sage
 bug.

 Obviously, I agree.
