I was just encountering this myself.

sed can be fixed without the use of tr by replacing '\n' with an explicit newline like:

sed -e 's/deerit./&\
\
\
\
/' -e "s/locavit,/locavit;/" < new6.txt > new8.txt

Of course it doesn't fit on one line though.

I don't think replacing 2 lines with 10 is a big win (not counting a
possible comment explaining why it's necessary).  I'd rather replaced
the thing with a Perl one-liner though, but that seems a bit frowned
upon, correct?
