Try the same version of Sed on Solaris.  IIRC, there's no difference 
between the DJGPP port and the official sources that could affect how \t 
and \n are handled in replacements.  It's either a Bash issue (perhaps 
Bash converts \t into a literal TAB), or a Sed version issue.

Try alpha.gnu.org, in the /gnu directory.

Also, make sure you are running the same version of Bash on both 
machines.
