LOL.

Now that's interesting. Looking at the source, I now remember that the
-i option can take an optional backup value. When using -ir, sed is
interpreting the r as the extension for the backup and not as an option.
When I use sed -ri ..., it works also.
This has been an intriguing problem. I think the issue comes up with
the tar -cf option also.
Thanks for figuring it out.
