The problem is the same with 7.0 if I open a file with DOS-style
eol-conversion.  At least on Linux.  The Allegro manual says something
about #\newline#\linefeed -> \#newline conversion under Windows, but I
didn't understand when exactly it is used.  Let's use your patch until
somebody encounters a real problem.
