No, remember that this is new for 7.1. 7.0 uses
sprintf(version, "%s.%s\n", PG_RELEASE, PG_VERSION);
fd = open(full_path, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_BINARY, 0666);
write(fd, version, strlen(version));
which should not cause newline foul-ups.

My understanding is that this is settable by mount-point, so the confusion
is practically unsurmountable.
