Over to the Meld mailing list... I didn't mean to shy you away ;) Could it be that there is a ^M very early in the file (or rather something else which isn't covered by dos2unix) so that Meld thinks it's DOS and inserts line endings as DOS? At least that's what vim would do. In any case, Meld people over there should know (or get to know) that effect. >>> There are plenty of posts around about these being line endings used for >>> windows which can appear when working on a script under a *nix OS which >>> has previously been edited in a Windows OS.
