Where do the extra characters get added/removed? The OP said that the jar
works if it is copied to an ext2 partition. afaik, the only utility that
messes with terminators is ftp in the text mode. Unfortunately, many
Windows ftp implementations default to text and will add carriage returns
to binary files.


Maybe the JAR looks for its own pathname and tries to write some files in the same directory? As NTFS partitions are usually mounted as read-only in Linux, the writing would fail and the program would end with an exception. :-?
