I've had the same problem with 21.1.1, though it worked fine with an earlier
version. It always saved with Linux/unix line ends.
I just created macros using replace-regexp to change the line ends, easily
converting from either system.
These days, though, I figure I'm on Linux for good so I no longer save with
Windows line ends unless I'm sending the file to a Windows machine.
