Source code of RandomAccessFile.readLine() shows that only LF
or EOF counts as a line-end, belying the method's doc-comment,
and failing to meet the contract imposed by DataInput.readLine().
In particular, lines ending in CR alone are not parsed as lines.

The problematic code can be seen in JDK 1.1.7B or earlier.

The problem does not appear in JDK 1.2 source.

Presumably, there is no test for this in the compatibility tests,
either, or something so obvious would not exist.
