Yes, of course.  The stat() call is returning the size of the file on
disk, which has DOS line endings.  Both Perl and Swish-e are opening the
files in text mode, so when DirTree.pl reads in the file the line
endings are converted to a single newline character.

When DirTree.pl writes it to swish the text is written in text mode, so
the newlines are replaced with the \r\n DOS lines, but then swish-e
reads that in and again the newlines are stripped.

So using the length() is correct for non-multibyte characters.

I'll fix DirTree.pl for 2.4.1 update.
