That's probably not the cause of your original problem. It's the cause
of the problem you saw when you tried the replace-string thingy to
replace "all" CRs into LFs. If you used the C-x RET f mac RET method
I suggested earlier to convert unix-style files to mac-style files, this
problem shouldn't appear.

That's a clear bug, indeed. But I can guarantee that it normally works,
so please give us more details so we can track down the problem.
The only know case where a Mac file is misidentified is if it contains
LF chars, which shouldn't happen in normal circumstances.

The final LF is clearly an error in the file. You need to track down
its origin.

It does.
