Decode key files with Unix or Windows newlines

Update:

In my case culprit was the line endings in PEM, lines were terminated Windows-style - {CR}{LF}. Changed them to {LF} and keys were read just fine.

After the upgrade to v 0.3.5.8 my onion wasn't available anymore.

This is the info I get when attempting to start tor:

Jan 23 00:29:34.000 [warn] Error decoding PEM wrapper while reading private key Jan 23 00:29:34.000 [warn] Unable to decode private key from file "/var/lib/tor/hidden_service//private_key" Jan 23 00:29:34.000 [err] Error loading private key. Jan 23 00:29:34.000 [warn] Error loading rendezvous service keys Jan 23 00:29:34.000 [err] set_options(): Bug: Acting on config options left us in a broken state. Dying. (on Tor 0.3.5.8 ) Jan 23 00:29:34.000 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.

More users are having the same issue, that their Scallion generated keys cannot be read by the most recent version of TOR.

Any ideas?
