   It is almost certain that the line-termination character sequence (usually   
   CR/LF) is not present in this file.   
      
   Any sort of hexadecimal file-editor will probably show you the problem.   
      
   You might find that simply loading the file into an editor, and saving it   
   again as a text file, will solve the problem.   
      
   But ... "what changed?"  Did someone alter the tool that generates that   
   file?
