Maybe because I would not know where to begin (One can write sed scripts, and even use them. But should not try to understand them...).
Thanks a lot.
I think I am going to do that.
If one can't trust sed, can't trust anything :)
My version I tested with is also 4.1.4
I just can't see this being the fault of sed here, for one to work and not the
other just doesn't make sense.
Have you diffed the two different tcupdate scripts to be sure they are exactly
the same? What about other sed scripts or one liners? Can you reproduce any
other broken sed behavior?
Yes. They are exactly the same. Did not tried to reproduce other broken behaviours.

As I mentioned, the version I downloaded (from the link you provided) did work
fine, and the sed syntax was correct. The error message you reported makes me
think that one of the sed statements in your misbehaving system is missing a
'/' at the end of the line...
Sorry I cannot be more help. If still no joy maybe send a note to the sed
maintainer.
Thanks a lot.

Good luck...
