Your text editor is ignoring the distinction between lines that end
with CRLF and lines that end with plain LF. Cygwin "uniq" isn't
ignoring that distinction, and this explains the discrepancy. I don't
use Microsoft Windows, so I don't know whether this is a bug in the
Cygwin port or in your text editor; but it's not a bug in uniq per se.
