I've confirmed that:

1) All discrepancies are due to records (lines) being exactly duplicated.

2) Of the 17 discrepancies, 14 are type 1107, one is type 1019, one is
type 1044, and one is type 1046.

3) The duplications are present in the raw output from gpsfake, so the
problem isn't sed's fault.
