This problem is related to changes in the MultiFile module, see #417176 on
SourceForge:

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=417176&group_id=5470&atid=105470

In 2.1 (and before) MultiFile would parse a multi-part mime construct and
return the different parts contained therein with the CRLF that's actually
part of the mime bounderies with the contained data. The test suite using
MutiFile to test the range code compensated for this by removing the CRLF
itself.

Now MultiFile will remove only a newline, while the range code (correctly)
generates boundaries with \r\n, and MultiFile ends up returning the parts
with an additional \r, and the tests fail because of that extra character.
