Thank you both Douglas and Andreas.  I'm glad I decided to post my 
code, and will keep its limitations in mind (and take this as a 
reminder to write more defensively, minus assumptions). 
Nevertheless, the text files my program is processing are consistent 
with one line terminator, and I guess I just modeled my code with 
that in mind.

Thanks again for taking the time to point those facts out.
