Basicly, I can lower this error down to two things: 1. Server misconfiguration 2. Parse error in .htaccess It was probably the second one in your case, and WordPress automatically corrected it. Same thing happened with me - I had to edit my file with WordPress. Also, I just remembered - if you uploaded the file in BINARY mode, you could've gotten the same error. Maybe that's why.

Uploading a file in binary is not a bad thing (in fact it is the GOOD thing), but line-break problems arise when switching Operative Systems. ASCII mode will transparently translate the line-breaks, but also probably trash international/UTF8 encodings. Considering the given information, it was a Windows/UNIX line-break problem.
