CSV Lint is wrongly interpreting line breaks within quotes as starting a new record. So

A,"B C",D

is two records of two fields, when it should be one of four.

This is as per RFC 4180 section 2.6

I sense that this probably is better applied to https://github.com/theodi/csvlint.rb

I think this issue is the same as, or at least related to, #198
