I was thinking about the case where a source file has mostly lines with 
LF but a few lines end in CRLF.  E.g., the attached file has a CR at the 
end of the second line.  In that case, Emacs doesn't strip the trailing 
CRs on GNU/Linux.  Wouldn't the byte counts get messed up then?

Come to think of it, one of the etags test cases did that before I 
removed the CR (and perhaps that was part of the test...).
