Hmm...  Okay.  That is a rather important detail to not have mentioned!

But I would hope it would have at least one newline or it isn't a text
file.  Text files are files with lines of text and a line of text by
definition ends with a newline character.

I know that 4.2.2 has this new feature and if that works better for
you then great.  But it does seem to be stretching things.
