You have CRNL as line endings in your files (bad) and you apparently have put
them on a binary mount (good).  In short, you'd see this same problem on
Linux with the files in question (or using the tools that you did to unpack
the files).  I recommend running all the files through 'd2u'.  You'll have
better luck then.
