Comment:

 Well, that's a confusing one!

 My guess is that this relay was migrated from windows to Linux, and that
 the stats lines that end with CRLF were originally stored on Windows, and
 then copied verbatim from those files when they were reloaded.  Or
 possible somebody was monkeying around with these files in a windows text-
 editor?  That doesn't seem as likely though.

 From dir-spec's POV, I think these lines are valid: ArgumentChar can be
 "any printing ascii character other than NL" currently according to the
 spec, and CR is printable.
