I use SED very frequently, and I have never had it change anything that 
was not in the script. Most of my scripts have multiple sed scripts, and 
usually remove the windows line endings because some of the files I 
modify have crlf in them. But, just to reiterate, I have never had sed 
change the line endings without the proper script.
