The data file is encoded in UTF-16 with CR line ends (as used on
the Mac).  PSPP isn't prepared for either one at the moment.  The
former is already in the works (as bug #35825), but the latter is
difficult because SPSS does not interpret stray CRs as ending a
line but as part of a line and at least one user depends on that
behavior (there was a bug report some time ago).

I recommend re-encoding your file in UTF-8 with more standard (LR
or CR LF) line ends.
