Inconsistent compiling mips

Usually I don't have problems writing assembly and testing and debugging. But then sometimes the compiler doesn't like the newline character and I don't know why. This problem usually happens with the Berkeley spim simulator

sample code:

.text
.globl __start

__start:

la $a0,crlf
li $v0,4
syscall

li $v0,10
syscall

.data

crlf: .asciiz "\n"

what am I doing wrong?

Another way to do it would be

    crlf: .byte 13,10,00

This is what I use when \n gives me issues.

Maybe you should try with

crlf:
.db 0x0A 0x0D 0x00

Also keep in mind that only Windows uses CRLF for a new line. Most systems use CR only.
