For the attached complete test case, which includes the fragment
that you quote about, I get the following results:

	bash$ mmc test.m
	bash$ ./test
	"\015\\n"bash$ 

In other words, the output is "\015\\n", including the quotes,
and without a trailing newline.

Ah.  I tried with a later version of gcc (3.1), and was able to
reproduce the output that you reported (plus a warning from gcc).

I will fix it and post the patch to mercury-reviews shortly.
