Converting a robust file that has clearly defined fields to something
like AN1 where we try to be clever and preserve as much of that
geocaching data as we can, but do so by converting it to a single field
with what that format uses as display delims and then converting THAT
file to something else is just a ticket for pain.

Those two files are identical.

$  md5sum /tmp/XM*
f3d60905637d77b9d4a7419627592aed  /tmp/XMapHHWptsSend2006_Linux.txt
f3d60905637d77b9d4a7419627592aed  /tmp/XMapHHWptsSend_Windows.txt

Are you sure you don't have some kind of process problem in the
Linux->Windows transition that's hosing carriage return/newlines or
something?

Convert the GPX directly to xmap2006 for testing.
