[fpc-pascal]CR / CRLF problem when redirecting to file

Hello all,

In Linux, when redirecting FPC output to a file, I found that after 25
lines, CR characters are being added, as if in DOS:

program TestCR;
uses
  CRT;
var
  i: integer;
begin
  for i := 1 to 50 do
    writeln('The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog''s back ', i);
end.

when doing a   ./testcr > testcr.txt

CR's appear on line 25 and after. (This seems to profoundly confuse some
terminal windows, which change mode and have to be 'reset').

John
