My guess is that someone checked in DOS/MS-Windows files on a Unix
machine and now you've <CR> characters at the ends of the lines that
some tools are displaying as newlines and others are displaying as
funny characters.  If that's the case, you need to check the files out,
fix them, and commit the changes.  You may have some kind of DOS-to-
Unix program on your Unix system that you can use to fix them, or you
can use tr.
