The most likely explanation is that newfile.c was
created under Windows and that each line ends with a
carriage return followed by a newline.  (You can test
this conjecture by seeing if the output of the command

  % cat -vet newfile.c

is

  abab^M$
  baba^M$

where the ^M represents a carriage return.)  If so, then
the last character is not an a and a- does not match.

Please let me know whether this conjecture is correct.
