Well, My guess was right. I have a following line in the /etc/profile:
export LANG=et_EE.ISO8859-15
After I expoerted LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1, the sed started to work.
I did not thought that LANG parameter will also alter the alfabet ant
therefore the exppression [a-z] does not cover the full alphabet anymore.
