It's been moved to <http://tinyurl.com/3b3yux> with the following comment from Sam Steingold:
This patch does not seem right. on linux O_BINARY==0 and I see no reason to default line termination to :DOS there. I am rejecting it pending your convincing me that I am wrong here.
To be honest, it didn't seem quite right to me either, but I figured that was down to me not knowing the ins and outs of how Cygwin handles text modes. The original logic was:
#if defined(WIN32) || (defined(UNIX) && (O_BINARY != 0)) pushSTACK(S(Kdos)); /* :line-terminator */ #else pushSTACK(S(Kunix)); /* :line-terminator */
which translates to "if O_BINARY is something other than 0, then this unix must differentiate between text and binary streams, so assume that text streams use dos EOLs". That makes sense, except that O_BINARY is nonzero even on (for instance) my Cygwin installation, where I selected unix EOLs as the default with setup.exe. The patch changes the condition to:
#if defined(WIN32) || (defined(UNIX) && (O_BINARY == 0))
which, as Sam pointed out, would make most unixes (on which O_BINARY is 0) use dos EOLs.
