ironymaidenit took three person-hours to determine that my intractable formatting problem was CRLF.* not because any of us were using Windows, but because our text editor was defaulting to Windows encoding. *facepalm*
* Windows uses CRLF as the hidden end of line format, and Unix uses LF. the terminal shell assumes Unix endings and so produces mystery new lines in output when it encounters CRLF. woe betide the team that mixes the two.
