Cool, now you can extend this technique to solve the halting problem for all
inputs :-)

I never said that *all* scripts with unix-style line endings will fail.  The
problem was with a GOTO command that failed to find its label.  If I remember
correctly, it failed only when the distance from the GOTO to the label was
4096 bytes minus the length of the label.  It worked on some versions of
Windows.  YMMV.
