I just noticed an occurrence of LFCR "in the wild".

I run a number of NetBSD machines (most of which are actually on-topic,
though there are a few peecees).  Amonjg them is a "shark", a DEC
DNARD.  I have this set up with serial console, and I happened to
notice, today, when looking at a snapshot of output from the serial
console, that it uses LFCR line breaks, on the serial line, during
device autoconfig!  (Once the kernel is up, it starts using CRLF.)

I haven't dug into the NetBSD kernel code to see where these LFCRs are
coming from.
