Each import generates a newline when converted to html

Question

Hello,
I'm running tomcat 6.0.32. Each @ page import is being converted to a newline when compiled by server. For example:
<code>
<%@ page import="sun.misc.*" %>
<%
out.println("SUCCESS: 3434340f");
%>
<code>
Becomes a two line response, the first line (the import for sun.misc) being a single, newline char. The second line being the message.
Is this standard JSP behavior? Is there a setting / option, in the import directive or at the server level to surpress it? So the import statement is not converted to a newline? Some of these pages are read by mobile devices and I'd like to reduce the number of newlines. I realize I could just use full package names for the classes, but I'd prefer not.
Thanks- any help is appreciated.

<%@ page import="sun.misc.*" %><%
out.println("SUCCESS: 3434340f");
%>Note that raw code is out of fashion - use tags (taglibs).
