Hmmm. I see the "0 @F46@", but after that it is completely different.
Here's the tail of what I have:

0 @F46@ FAM
1 WIFE @I46@
1 RIN 138

0 @F47@ FAM
1 CHIL @I31@
1 RIN 139
1 SOUR @S1@

I can only imagine that something went terribly wrong when you
downloaded the file. :(

I figured it out: it's from curl. To download the file, I did

curl http://whatever >royal.ged

Curl's output got mixed in with the file. (There was a curl line at the top
that I had stripped out manually; that should have clued me in.) When I use
the -o flag instead, like this:

curl -o royal.ged http://whatever

then I don't see any cruft in the file and the line endings are fine.
