That doesn't make sense. 68388 is the size in bytes of my sed  
program. Yours is 38424 bytes. That sounds about right, given that on  
PowerPC Macs, it should contain only ppc code (and not ppc and i386  
code as on Intel Macs). However, the fact that it was modified  
December 31, 2007 is not right, and it indicates that you have  
probably replaced the sed that came with Mac OS X with something else  
which is apparently not functioning the way Apple's version did. You  
could replace this broken sed with the one that came with Mac OS X by  
copying it from the Mac OS X Tiger DVD. However, I recommend you  
first check /usr/bin and see if anything else was replaced by you on  
December 31. If so, who knows where else on your system essential  
components have been replaced, so reinstalling Mac OS X would be safer.
