Make sure messages are terminated with carriage return ('\n')

New line, not carriage return. "Carriage return" is denoted by '\r'. See ISO/IEC 9899, Section edition, 1999-12-01, Section 5.2.2 ("Character display semantics"), Page 19, Clause 2.

Alphabetic escape sequences are guaranteed to work only if you're be using compatible character sets everywhere. In the superset-of-ASCII case, the "new line" will be rendered as an ASCII LF (decimal 10). It's more portable, and arguably less confusing, to explicitly specify the trailing "new line" character in a way that doesn't depend on the translation environment's specific character set -- something like '\012', '\xa', '\xA', or "#define PD_ASCII_LF ((char) (10))".

Pardon my pedantry.
