I haven’t heard anything back on this. Is my email getting through to  
the  
ruby-talk group ? Does anybody sense what I’m doing here? Sorry if  
this  
should be obvious, but it’s not. I haven’t even seen my own postings  
come  
up today, so I wonder what’s going on.

Sincerely, Xeno

Yes.

Probably not.

It’s unlikely to be an obvious issue as you said yourself that your code  
is quite complex. Chances are high that the issue is in your code or in  
the way you use some lib code.

Line terminators do not show up all of a sudden in a string. It must be  
in your code. Maybe you’re using StringIO and puts:

10:25:34 [~]: ruby -r stringio -e ‘sio=StringIO.new; sio.puts  
“test1”,“test2”; p sio.string’  
“test1\ntest2\n”
