Sql PLus - extra linefeed

I am having a issue with the spooling of a query to file where sql plus is
inserting an extra linefeed and I cannot determine the cause. The file will
be imported into a 3rd party app that I do not have any control over. I
might be missing the obvious as I have working on it all afternoon so I
appreciate any assistance. I am running on oracle 10gR1 on windows. Sql plus
is running on the server.

The query is slightly complicated as it has to write a 3 line header prior
to each of 14 sections. Each section will contain about 3000 records. Each
line is 490 characters long so I will truncate the lines to illustrate the
problem. After each of the fourteen 3 line header records, 1 data record is
written followed by a blank line (issue) followed by all the other data
record for the section. The application is crapping out on the blank lines
breaking the entire import.

~~~~~~~~00IFe50k  05303199204053030003...   Header 1a
~~~~~~~~01All Items by Quarter...           Header 1b 
~~~~~~~~02Fifty Thousand...                 Header 1c 
~~~~~~~~08001001+00000000000+00000000000... Data 1
