By default, CAP is designed to corrupt UNIX binary files. From the AUFS
manual entry (cap60/man/AUFS.1):

     For "UNIX" volumes, AUFS does automatic conversion between
     the UNIX line terminator LF (the line feed character) and
     the Macintosh line terminator CR (the carriage return char-
     acter) when reading or writing UNIX files from the Macin-
     tosh.

You can disable this on a per-file-type (UNIX filename suffix) basis,
or for all files by using the USR_FILE_TYPES code at Configure time.
See cap60/CAP60.README and cap60/extras/afpfile.

Your OSF/1 CAP installation may already have this configured.
