What EOLs (End Of Line) have those files.

If you open a Windows file that uses CR and LF for a single line break,
with an editor expecting Unix/OsX EOLs - so LF - it will show double
spaces.

The first CR is taken as MacOs EOL, and the LF as Unix EOL.

What happens if you "dos2unix" all those files ?
