Oh, that's right. I knew I had seen this problem before, but didn't
remember why. I'm not sure how to highlight the ^Ms in vi, but I know
how to globally search-and-replace them (in Vim, that is):

  :%s/^M/^M/g

(in case you're not very familiar with vim '^M' is the single character
produced by typing Ctrl-v Enter)

That's a little counterintuitive, but you can think of it as 'find the
character ^M and replace it with the character produced by the Enter
key'.
