When executing on a symlink in present working directory, sed does not build the original path correctly, thus failing to follow the symlink.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" >1
2. ln -s 1 2
3. sed -i -e 's/z/a/g' 2

sed: ck_follow_symlink: couldn't lstat 2/1: Not a directory
