weird behaviour of shell commands

Hi,

When executing chev.sh (a bad performance script that allows me to 
reverse lines of a text file), the result (chev2.txt) should have a size 
of 1565 bytes, that is the same size as chev.txt.
The problem is it won't. Weirder, the result gives random sizes 
everytime (sometimes 1563, 1559 etc.).
I don't understand what happens at all.
Files : versions*.jpg : versions of all installed cygwin packages
          chev.sh : the shell script that gives the wrong result
          chev.txt : the file text needed for chev.sh to work

Regards,

C.Rutkowski
