I can see two things this might be.

First is a bug that's been fixed in the latest release (TR2, available
now) where writing text didn't actually use the platform line end; so,
on Win32, rather than seeing a CRLF you'd see just a LF.

Second, which may be less likely in this case, is that you need to be
usin an editor which really talks UTF-8 !!

Get the TR2 release of Sun's package, and see if that fixes the CRLF
issue for you.
