Your file has a 0Dh line terminator and is probably made on a Apple Macintosh OS 9 or earlier.

The quick fix for anyone who runs into a problem like this is to open the file in a text editor that reads it (gedit/pluma) and save as and there will be an option to choose line ending for Linux/Unix. I'll probe into this and see if there are other bug reports out there.
