They aren't lost when stored, but they are lost when exported. After
all, we have to change newline to something unless you want the
import not to be readable. There is a CONTINUE UNIX capability, but
the exporter doesn't honor that.

If you re-import the DB after exporting (which you normally should not
do in UserDB) then you will see this.

I felt the least intrusive policy on an export/import was to use the
mac-style carriage return only. Suggestions are welcome, but this is a
hard one that has yet to be fully cracked by anyone that I know of.
