> Hi,I'm using gnu win32 ver 4.2.1 of sed.When using -i option, sed always leaves 
> behind temporary files named sed* in the directory where it's being called. 
> (ie. NOT in the directory where the edited file resides.)Each successful run 
> leaves 1 temp file behind.
> When I supply a file extension using -itmp, the expected file backup gets 
> created in the directory where the edited file resides. The temporary files are 
> still left over in the execution directory.
