Details:

At least one survey website generates text files, intended for use with SPSS,
whose lines end in only CRs (not LF or CR+LF).  PSPP does not understand this
format.  SPSS's behavior is not well understood in this area.

One experiment has been performed but I do not yet understand the results, so
further experiments might be necessary:
