Have you inadvertently specified svn:eol-style for this file? Since it's
not a text file, you shouldn't be doing that. Perhaps you have an
auto-props rule set up to add svn:eol-style to all files, even binary
ones? If so, you should fix the rule to only apply svn:eol-style to file
extensions you know to be plain text.
