I wouldn't have known unless you said.  So...shame on you!  :)

Filesystems don't care about the data you're trying to store in a file --
they don't look at the data to see what you're putting in there.  So to
say it's a line break thing would be doubious.

511 bytes?  That's strangely close to 512 - a power of 2 - 2 to the 9th.
Is there some buffer size you have to set in oracle?  How are you trying
to dump the data?  What software are you using? 

I know that Oralce tried to keep users from using sqlplus as a fully fledged 
reporting system by limiting the dbms_output function's maximum output size.
