This "patch" does not make any sense to me. Just fix your copy and move on. This is a one off. Most MAC users will use the github plugin anyways. Playing dumb-down to the lowest common denominator gets old sometimes. Give Apple a phone call and have them fix their sed. Nobody has the time to test the patch, and then go batshit when it breaks the linux install.
