Well, I've found out. It appears that naive pattern '(.*)' consumes
not only an unquoted file name, but also <cr> and other invisible
tailing characters. So using more sophisticated '([a-zA-Z1-9.]*)'
instead does the work.

Although I don't understand why ever <cr> appears in the matching
string, but the solution is enough for us. Sorry troubling.
