I don't know if it's of any help, but I had a *somewhat* similar experience, I
don't know if this will help, but I'll give it to you for what it's worth: I
found in my environment, I had REINPLACE_CMD defined (seemed to be a good
value), so (in my shell, tcsh) I removed the REINPLACE_CMD setting with
unsetenv, and the problem disappeared.  Use either env or printenv to scan your
environment for anything to do with sed (as REINP"LACE_CMD does) and try
removing it.

Oh, BTW, I can't seem to get the -l <logfile> option to portupgrade to work, any
help on that would also be appreciated.  I didn't use -L at all.
