| "load NotOK2_LF.txt" works for me ... I tried both Octave 3.0.1 and  
| 3.1.51.

I checked in the follwoing changes to my sources.  These should
probably also be applied to the 3.0.x branch.  I think this should
allow files containing any combination of LF, CR, or CRLF to be loaded
properly.  It works for me on a GNU/Linux system and I think it should
also work on OS X and Windows systems.  But I can't easily check that,
so it would be helpful if someone could test this patch on those
systems.

Thanks,
