I can see that using sed would be quite simple.  However, I don't want 
to wait for a 30 GB file to be re-written.  Looking at the man page, I 
see there is an "--in-place" option for sed.  I guess I better delve 
into sed some more.  I wonder if I can tell it to stop after the first 
"\n" to avoid scanning the whole file to change the first line.  Or 
maybe I can just hit ctrl-c?
