Remount your filesystems with -b,
the only thing that gets opened in
text mode (recognizes ^Z and expects \r\n) after
you do that are pipes.
Geoff did the default install get changed for B19 ;^)? Please Please Please!!!!
you will need to reinstall your headers/sources/shellscripts etc.
or manually convert them to \n only.
don't forget the config files in ~/ and /etc, .bashrc
and .bash_history passwd group etc...
