I was just too tired.

The error was in my tool for optimizing page streams:
"fl" was written as byte with ascii code 13 ('\r', '\015').
Then Multivalent (or acroread/ghostscript, but not xpdf 3.00) have
read the pdf specification. The '\r' is interpreted as end of
line marker and gets normalized to '\n'.

I have updated all zip files:

Many thanks for your bug-report.

Yours sincerely
