It's been like that since 1996, according to the CVS logs.  I'm
surprised we have not had more reports of trouble --- either the shell
or sed might be deciding to translate that \n to a newline, although
evidently the consensus behavior is not to.

I zapped the gratuitous backslashes before the spaces, too, just
for luck.
