I did find a bug in the recent handling of root but it doesn't appear
to have any effect on this behavior.
If I use echo to create files in /c with a /etc/fstab similar to the
above, I get \r\n line endings. I'm sure Eric will correct me but I
don't believe that cat can be used to convert from binary to text. vim
also has a mode to create dos line endings.
