While this doesn't really fix the problem, if you are using emacs, it may
help you ignore it ;)

(defun remove-dos-eol ()
  "Do not show ^M in files containing mixed UNIX and DOS line endings."
  (interactive)
  (setq buffer-display-table (make-display-table))
  (aset buffer-display-table ?\^M []))
(add-hook 'log-view-mode-hook 'remove-dos-eol)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.[0-9]+\\'" . log-view-mode))
