Thanks for the reply... sorry about the big time lapse.
Doesn't appear that CRLF is a problem:
sed -n l < .inputrc
## C-x C-r to reread this init file$
## "\\M-S": "TERM=vt200;export TERM; ssh root@fwobsd"$
"\\M-a": "awk 'BEGIN{ print ( )}'"$
"\\M-d": "date +\\"%s\\""$
"\\M-e": "ps wwaux|grep emacsc"$
[...]
All newlines..., plus the times I had init files with CRLF there was
always some kind of error message.
