On some systems sed allows the usage of e.g. sed -i -e "s/line1/line2/" afile to edit the file "in place". Other systems don't allow that: one observed behaviour is that sed -i -e "s/line1/line2/" afile creates a backup file called afile-e, which breaks the test. As sed -i is not part of POSIX, avoid it.
