Yanking text copied from terminal window turns line breaks in ^M's

Yanking text copied from terminal window turns line breaks in ^M's |

==================================================================
When copying text from a Terminal window and yanking it into an emacs
buffer, line breaks are represented as ^M characters. After yanking,
one must use
M-x replace-string Ctrl-Q Ctrl-M <RETURN> Ctrl-Q Ctrl-J <RETURN>
To correct the line breaks.
Steps to reproduce:
1) From Terminal.app, run a shell command to generate some output.
Something like `ls -l' is sufficient.
2) Select the output of ls -l. Press Cmd-C in Terminal to copy
the text to the clipboard
3) In Emacs.app, use Ctrl-y to yank the ls -l output into a buffer
(a text-mode buffer is fine)
4) In the text buffer, copied text appears as a single line, with ^M
characters where there were linebreaks in the ls -l output.
This behavior was also present in emacs 22.0.50.1 (built on
4/11/2006).
