>Description:
When using a multi-byte locale (at least, en_US.UTF-8), the vmware-guestd6 port fails to install.  It stops during 'make patch' after sed produces an error about an invalid byte sequence.  It can be worked around by temporarily switching to the C locale.

Apparently, setting LC_CTYPE=C, as done in the port, isn't sufficient.
>How-To-Repeat:
export LC_ALL; LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
sudo portmaster /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-guestd6
..
===>  Patching for vmware-guestd-6.0.2.59824
LC_CTYPE=C /usr/bin/sed -i.bak "`/usr/bin/printf 's|\0152\013\0350|\0152\\\n\0350|g'`"  /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-guestd6/work/vmware-tools-distrib/lib/sbin32-6/vmware-checkvm
sed: 1: "s|j�|j\n�|g": RE error: illegal byte sequence
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-guestd6.

===>>> make failed for emulators/vmware-guestd6

>Fix:
This workaround let me install the port:

LC_ALL=C sudo portmaster /usr/ports/emulators/vmware-guestd6
