I examined the source text file with hex dump and the only special
characters I see are tabs and line feeds -- no \r's at all. Everything
looks correct. 

So, I added this to my catalog, trying to sidestep GDBM:

  Database  posters  DB_FILE   1

I deleted the gdbm files and restarted interchange. My posters.db file
was created, so I guess I'm sidestepping gdbm.

But I get the same incorrect results.

I'm beginning to smell a bug in either (a) interchange, or (b) the perl
modules that support interchange.

This is getting very frustrating. 

Any ideas?
