I can confirm this with 2.8.2dev.19 on SunOS 4.1.3_U1. I downloaded
the file via wget. It appears to be a unix format file with embedded
tables having only Macintosh format EOLs (i.e. 0x0d without 0x0a).
For example, line 35 of the file has over 2500 characters, with 19
"^M" in the line (reading in binary mode with vim). I suspect a
buffer overflow, but I'll have to leave the investigation to more
knowledgeable members of the list.
