Windows can and does under certain circumstances. Windows uses the convention that end of line is represented by two characters, carrage return and end of line - unlike the rest of the world who just use end of line (I mean - what else would you use to represent the end of a line?). Windows tools being 'helpful' tend to 'correct' single end of line to double end of line. Most *NIX tools are fairly tolerant and accept double end of line - but not all. Thus sometimes (normally by editing) working with a file in Windows can give the apperance of corrupting it. These errors are hard to find because they literally refer to things you can't see. See dos2unix(1) and unix2dos(1).
