I think r.out.arc has been around since the days when Arc/Info commonly
ran on UNIX, and I've never had that problem with the module's output,
so I suspect this is a new bug in Arc. Which version of Arc has the
error? We can add the hint to the help page.

Besides unix2dos, you can work around the problem with this patch:
