Or are you using different editors?  Different editors might use different 
conventions for representing newlines.  

When the 32 bit one has the problem, what does it say?  

For example when I made the text file with DrRacket or TextEdit but ran it with 
racket (not DrRacket), it worked, 
but when I made the text file with Microsoft Word, it gave me this:
$ racket newline-3.txt
(format "~n") = "\n"
"
" = "\r"
Ran 1 check.
0 checks passed.
        Actual value 
, the expected value.
 In newline-3.txt at line 7 column 0
