Confirm that both files have Unix line-endings.

And you've filed a bug-report on these problems, right?

Maybe BBEdit sucks, too. Or maybe it just sucks less. I can't say, since
I don't use it. What I use works fine for me. When it doesn't, I file bugs.
The first rule of effective complaining is to complain to someone who can
do something about it. Simply complaining on this list is a waste of
effort. Despite the earnestness or validity of any complaint, merely
complaining on-list won't get anything fixed.
Filing bugs may also be a waste of effort, but at least it's an officially
logged and noted waste of effort, instead of just being list-clutter.
