[bug-gettext] [bug #52395] msguniq 0.19.8.1 for Windows sometimes processes .pot file with CRLF EOL incorrectly

[Bruno Haible]

Update of bug #52395 (project gettext):

                Category:                   Build => Translator tools       
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #1:

I observe the bug also on Linux, but only with an additional --width
argument:
$ msguniq --to-code=utf-8 -w 200 eolbug.pot > eolbug.out

The resulting eolbug.out has a first line that looks like this:
#: .\edu\templates\edu\home.html:69<CR> #:
.\edu\templates\edu\music_country.html:34<CR>

No information has been lost; you only got that impression because the second
part on the line overwrote the first part on the screen.

But a stray <CR>, not succeeded by <LF>, is evidently causing trouble in
editors and possibly syntax errors in some other tools.

(file #42379, file #42380)
