Well there's interfaces to various programming languages - such as
perl-DBI (we use for MySQL but works for BDB + others).
I wonder if you've tried something like
db_dump -p dbname | tr -d "\r"
db_dump -p dbname | dos2unix
I guess it depends on exactly how often you get <CR><LF>, every line,
mid-row, some lines etc.
Another thought is you might find you can convert to something like a TAB
delimited file which may or may not help. It certainly won't if your line
breaks are mid-row.
