Unfortunately, the customer feed contains DOS newlines ("\r\n").

I'm not quite sure what """
Note
The reader is hard-coded to recognize either '\r' or '\n' as
end-of-line, and ignores lineterminator. This behavior may change in
the future.
""" means at [1].  Does that mean that efforts to change the
lineterminator don't have any effect? Or that you can't (currently)
specify anything other than "\r" or "\n"?  Though that is a bit
tangent to the actual issue.
