Humm, this is weird, because httrack does not handle lines 
at all, but only the whole stream. I suspect some nasty 
transfer error or update bug, maybe. Did you attempt to 
edit the file with some editor ? This might be the cause.

I tried to mirror the page mentionned, and the page looked 
ok with 3.33-rc6 AFAICS.

Well, httrack does not change anything, actually: if the 
page was LF convention it is still LF convention. Only 
relevant links are patched on-the flo - the rest of the 
data is ok.
