[Koha] Multiple problems in MARC download and import

[Alvaro Cornejo]

Hi Elaine

This might happen when you have a linux txt file and open it with a windows
editor or vice-versa. This is usually due to windows and linux using
different line terminators characters [CR]  vs  [CR]+[LF].

You might also need to verify that, when doing your replacement, you didn't
added/removed special characters or spaces.

You can do some test with just a few items to see if you find the issue.

Regards

Alvaro
