While we're looking for things to ammend, how about the translation \n -> \r\n in files. Nowadays, there is no problem if the files just have \n (unless you are using notepad, but who is?). But the problem is that if you do this to a unix script file (shell, perl, etc) it will no longer work, because of the \r at the end of the first line (ie, it would try to execute /usr/bin/perl\r). It also breaks other things such as pdf files (which are a mix of text and binary, and are reported to be text files).
