The second character is hex 0D.  This is not the decimal point
character.  It is the control character for carriage return.  Some
systems use it to indicate the end of a text line but I thought Unix
used 0A.  Windows uses 0D0A.

It looks like you transferred the data from a Windows system but the
end of line conversion was not performed properly.
