It's just CR on Mac. As for fixing it, who wants to be the first to
make Win & Mac use only LF? :-) Clue: it ain't gonna happen ;-) OTOH,
Max OS/X is FreeBSD based, so presumably Macs now use LF for end of
line... unless Apple hacked all the source to make it CR instead... a
perilous undertaking...
