For extra fun, what happens if you try
sed 's/ *| */|/g' file | cat >> file
Once upon a time, when patches to the kernel weren't quite as stable, I
used to run script, run the patch, close the shell and glance through the
typescript to spot any problems. Except once I forgot Ctrl-D. For extra
stupid points, use cat instead of less.....
