If possible, you need to check the contents of the messages at all
stages along the route.[*] The logic for handling line terminators has
changed a number of times (see the ChangeLog); none of the states is
ideal because there are so many different ways of terminating lines and
different software takes different approaches at "fixing" files to its
idea of a canonical form. :-(

[*] You might even have to use tcpdump to check the original incoming
data.
