This *could* be caused by carriage returns.  If one of the data files
ends with MS-DOS line endings (carriage return + newline), and if you
are writing this to a terminal where the carriage return causes the
cursor to move to the start of the line before continuing to write
the rest of the line, you might get results like this.
