Re: Strange CRLF problem

Notice how the error message overwrote the line becauseit is mysteriously
appended with a CR character (without a LF following it).

I wrote a small C program to confirm that an extra '\r' (0x0D) lies at the
end of each argument, and checked to see that the response file (temp.txt
above) was well formed (CR LF at the end of each). I always mount in
textmode.

Anyone know anything about this?

'cat' works in binary mode. Pipe the output through d2u if you need to remove the CRs.
