sed problem - last line of file deleted

Hi,
I am simply trying to remove the header row from a file using sed, but I'm running into strange difficulties.
It seems that in addition to removing the first line, this command is also removing the last line (or more specifically, clearing the last line, since the line is still counted even though it's empty).
For what it's worth, I've included several versions of the sed command all exhibiting the same behavior.


Code:
sed '1 d' file
sed 1d file
sed '1d' file
sed '1,1 d' file
