They don't seem to be in CVS.

Another possibility is a mismatch between what the end-lines in the CVS 
client are set to vs. what the editor you use produces. For example if 
CVS is set to CR-LF and your editor is producing LF only. Many IDEs 
handle any endline variety, but at the same time they tend to produce 
mixed end-line files.

In this case I think the change happened 3 weeks ago. If you look at the 
history of libs/thread/src/condition.cpp you'll see that there is a 
check in of version 1.19 which seems to have no differences: 
http://tinyurl.com/653xz - That is what an end-of-line only change looks 
like to the diff, and what the change I did last night also looks like.

Beman has a program which runs checks for this kind of stuff when he was 
running the regressions tests: tools/inspect. Perhaps we can have 
someone run those tests again?
