I would make the wild guess that there could be simply a linefeed
(i.e. \n) rather than a crlf (i.e. \r\n) or vice versa.

You should note that I am not familiar with running PostgreSQL on Windows
or with the source code, therefore my guess is quite simply a guess.

You could try re-entering the data in that file (so as to get a crlf
tacked onto the end of the line), which would be quite useless if this is
not the issue.
