Cure:
Make this script on linux box, call it strip-dos, and run it
make it executable first
~#chmod 700 strip-dos
~#./strip-dos file-name
Creates a file called file-name.stripped so it doesn't mess with the
origional. The magic is in the last line, if you want to type command each
time just run

How did you move the file? File copy? FTP?
*nix systems use line feeds at the end of lines in text files. Windows
systems use LF\CR. Or the other way round. That's the cause of your problem
anyway.
One way of solving it is to FTP the file to the box in asci mode, I believe.
