I'm glad to hear you got that working, but I'm concerned about how the 
CRLFs were introduced to begin with.

Internally, all of LC's text routines use the Unix line ending by 
default, and generally the only time you can get things like CRLFs is 
when reading text files made on Windows using binary mode - an unusual 
intersection of things that doesn't often happen.

Can you tell us more about how the list is created, maybe posting the 
script that obtains that list?

If you've encountered a bug it would be good for us to file a report on 
it, and if not I'll bet we can refine the code for greater simplicity 
and performance.
