It sounds like you downloaded the files to the mac side (say, with Fetch)
in ASCII mode. The MacOS likes ^M's, so fetch converted the Unix LF's to
MacOS ^M's. Then when you moved the files to MacBSD (with hfs?), they
were copied verbatim. Either download straight to NetBSD, or make sure you
always use binary mode.

Could be the same problem -- the binary got corrupted because the transfer
tools treated it like a text file.
