Well, I get so much spam anyways, I guess a bit more won't matter :)

As I said before, check your mounts.

This change in behaviour of BASH may just be exposing the underlying
problem I'm guessing that his files are on a binary mount but contain
CRLF.

As a test, Thomas, change your script to use a different shell (like, for
example, /bin/zsh) which chomps on the crlf's internally and spits out
only lf's.

Another alternative would be to create a textmode mount point, copy your
scipts there and run them from there.

Another alternative is to push your scripts through a filter (there's
lots of ways to do this) to remove the crlfs and write them to a binary
mounted filesystem.
