Have a read of http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-textbinary.html

Stepping through it:
% sed -e 's/g5a/setname/g' < 'c:\cygwin\home\mast/sedtestin' > ! sedtestout

rule b. sedtestin input will be read in binary mode. i.e it reads \r\n

redirection of input is done in binmode from rule c.
ditto output redirection.

writing of the file is done in textmode due to your mounts (rule a). 
Hence \r\n coming out of sed becomes \r\r\n.

Try specifying the output file in MSDOS format, '.\sedtestout'.


Dave.
