#21 dos2unix breaks with exit 0

[Joao ERIBERTO Mota Filho]

Dear Erwin,

dos2unix is aborting an operation with exit 0 (success). See the commands below that use the attached file:

$ ./dos2unix oui.20250515.msdos.txt
dos2unix: Binary symbol 0x01 found at line 226939
dos2unix: Skipping binary file oui.20250515.msdos.txt

$ echo $?
0

The problematic line in oui.20250515.msdos.txt is:

P.O^ABox^A17985^AJebel^AAli

The exit should be 1 to avoid any scripts keeping processing after a dos2unix error. I tested this behavior with dos2unix 7.4.1, 7.5.2 and 7.5.3-beta8.

Thanks for your attention.
