I figured it out: it's from curl. To download the file, I did

	curl http://whatever >royal.ged

Curl's output got mixed in with the file. (There was a curl line at the top 
that I had stripped out manually; that should have clued me in.) When I use 
the -o flag instead, like this:

	curl -o royal.ged http://whatever

then I don't see any cruft in the file and the line endings are fine.
