SUMMARY
If the last line in a batch file is a label and there is no carriage
return character after the label, the command immediately preceding
the label will be executed twice.
The workaround for this problem is to include a carriage return at the
end of a label.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS versions 3.3,
3.30a, 4.0, and 5.0. This problem was corrected in MS-DOS version 6.0.
