Well, but then you would expect the problem to occur in "rb" mode and 
not in "r" mode. Because when all CRLF are converted into LF, they 
should be just as good as "original" Linux newlines.

But it's actually the other way round: While "rb" works, "r" doesn't. 
And it also seems to depend on the Ruby version (or version of the CSV 
parser).
