If you are using this on GNU or Unix systems that is exactly what you
want.

I am sure that it would ignore files that contained a trailing CR. :-)

You must be running a port of the GNU ptx to a MS platform.  This is
probably an issue that you should report to them.  On GNU and Unix
systems the code is correct.  Probably in the port this is something
that will need to be patched.

Who is the maintainer of your port?  There are several that I could
guess but not knowing where you got your port from I can't know for
sure.
