I'm curious if there might be some oddball character in the file instead
of a linefeed terminating line 15 or 16?  If you can use an editor that
shows the character value when the cursor is on (the editor built into
Midnight Commander can do this, perhaps Vim as well with the right
settings...) you might see a value other than 0x0A (decimal 10) at the
end of the line.  I suppose this could be why lilo is puking.
