 That's the ideal solution, but so many Windows tools default to text
mode that it's easy to create the wrong type file, especially for
beginners who are moving there code to Linux for the first time.  I've
done it myself, even though I should no better by now.
 In addition, the error message is rather obscure (if I remember right
- I'm not near my Ubuntu at the moment and Cygwin handles this fine,
as it should)
 I'm afraid this problem won't go away. People are just going to have
to learn from experience.
