It is a known issue - a simple work around is just run something
like unix2dos on the SCOP test files, and then the tests pass.

I had tried that in the past without success...

I recall trying the universal read lines thing before without
success in the SCOP tests - maybe it was this line 72 thing
that I missed. I'll take another look at this next week (when
I have access to a Windows machine).
