This should be:
/* should do this only on a tty in raw mode */
putc('\r', stderr);
putc('\n', stderr);
fflush(stderr);
since the CR always is before the LF. MIT fixed this in their code base
more than a decade ago. OpenAFS inherited the brokenness.
Whether OpenAFS wishes to output as CR-LF at all is a separate matter.
I suspect the answer should be 'no'.
