It means that when you give a script to bash to execute; that script should always have <newline> line terminators; not DOS/Windows <carriage-return><newline> line terminators.

If you are downloading a freshly corrupted copy of your script every time before you execute it; you need to strip out the <carriage-return> characters every time you execute it.

Once you have removed the <carriage-return> characters; you can execute it as many times as you want until you corrupt it again.
