   Today I found my .htaccess scrambled with the common rules of WordPress added to the beginning if the file and truncating a lot of custom rules.

   I think the problema was due to an odd issue while connection with a temporary FTP client to edit the file.

   On WP core (misc.php line 37) there is

   if ( $markerdata = explode( "\n", implode( '', file( $filename ) ) ));

   but if the file for some reason (auto text correction by FTP clients) has only a \r as end line... the rest of the function code likely scramble the .htaccess file.

   Can be solved with a pre-code doing a replacement for \r\n to \n and then \r to \n.

   My 15$ tip... the price to restore a backup, ihihihih...

   My recommendation is to scrap .htaccess (and apache) all together :)
