Thanks, Eli.
BTW, I don't know if it's related, but I just filed bug #1187, which has to do
with reading characters differently in Emacs 23 from Emacs 22. Maybe the two are
related in some way.

But that would save the file with the new line endings. What if I don't want to
do that? ediff-buffers should not require you to save a file differently or even
to have a file associated with the buffer.
