No idea on the dropped connections.  Could you try it on a different OS and see if it still happens?  Also, you could check that your VM is the newest available for your platform.

Regarding line endings, Swikis actually do translate them.  Internally, Swikis use squeak-friendly CR terminators.  On the network, Swikis use CRLF terminators on output, and allow for all three common conventions on input.  They use the rather long-named #withSqueakLineEndings and #withInternetLineEndings methods to handle the translations.

Perhaps the extra lines you are seeing are because the regular Swiki formatter adds a <br> to the end of each line?  If so, you could try using the LessHTMLFormatter instead of the regular formatter.  The regular formatter is nice if you enter a lot of code or email messages, but in some cases it is friendlier than you like.
