Just to ask for some more information, does anyone know how low level
text reading C libraries handle line endings in a file that do not agree
with the platform convention/currently used convention? Does anyone know
what Rebol does with text ending in the middle of a file that do not
agree with the autodetected convention? 

I am even less partial to CrLfFS extreme liberality during reading that
to its detection responsibilities.

As to Berts suggestion, I am sorry to say that that seems like the
civilized thing to do, unless someone that agrees with me chimes in.
