[developers] ^M after features in MRS in result file

[Woodley Packard]

Hi Emily,

The problem is that the "semi.vpm" file has DOS line endings. I would 
reckon you could call that an LKB bug, seeing as LKB seems happy to 
accept the DOS line endings in the TDL files.  If you reformat the 
semi.vpm file to have regular UNIX line endings, the problem goes away 
(at least as tested on my end).

Cheers,
Woodley
