[erlang-questions] Appearance of carriage return in a erlang.log on UNIX

[Valentin Kuznetsov]

Hmm,
the application does use error_logger and the erlang.log.1 file contains proper lines from the logger, e.g.

=INFO REPORT==== 9-Mar-2013::20:55:05 ===^M
<0.818.0> Listening on 10190.^M
Eshell V5.9.3  (abort with ^G)^M
(urlfetchd@REDACTED)1> ^M
=INFO REPORT==== 9-Mar-2013::20:55:31 ===^M
<0.838.0> Client {127,0,0,1} connected.^M

The release log area has the following content:

erlang.log.1  run_erl.log  sasl  sasl-error.log

The sasl-error.log contains proper content too, e.g.

=SUPERVISOR REPORT==== 10-Mar-2013::18:29:44 ===
     Supervisor: {local,ssl_connection_sup}
     Context:    child_terminated
     Reason:     ekeyfile
     Offender:   [{pid,<0.1016.0>},
                  {name,undefined},                  {mfargs,{ssl_connection,start_link,undefined}},
                  {restart_type,temporary},
                  {shutdown,4000},                  {child_type,worker}]

but it does not have '\r' symbols.

The erlang.log.1 is not yet rotated since I only perform a few actions with my application.

I look-up on a web and did not find any reference about such behavior. I'll appreciate any suggestions why this happens (I don't think it's related to my application per-se and rather feel that it's somehow introduced by rebar, but I'm not sure). The carriage return symbols appears right after logging started message and follow up ever line after that. Here is an example of the head of my log.
