Not for me with the sample code I posted. Either the data you posted doesn't match the data you saw the issue with, or your actual code performs processing on the data that my sample doesn't and that processing is introducing the problem. Could it be that the number of columns is important for your extra processing? It may help to chomp each input line then append a newline to each line when you print.
