Bart explained,
| I only know about the problem because somebody on the
| zsh-workers mailing list reported that one of the zsh build utilities was
| failing because "sed -ne something -e otherthing" reported "-e: file not
| found". This was on some flavor of IRIX.
|
| So perhaps that sed accepts either a single cluster of options or a series
| of separate options, but not a mixture of the two.
Or perhaps that sed doesn't allow multiple -e options to string instructions
sequentially, so it took the second -e and the instruction after it as the
names of input files. (That is, unless you found out later that "sed -n -e
something1 -e something2" worked with it.)
