Change it to UNIX lineendings.  I'm surprised that it worked for you
with 6.1-2 (must be a pure coincidence since it doesn't work for me
with 6.1-2) since it was never supported at least since 6.0.  This is
a decision of Bram Moolenaar, the original developer and upstream
maintainer of vim and I'm in total agreement with him.
