I mean, the file may have DOS line-endings:  <cr><lf>
instead of just unix: \n  = <lf>
or Macintosh:  \r  = <cr>

If you downloaded the file  elsart.cls  from the web using a web-browser,
then the .cls  extension was not likely to be known, thereby 
resulting in a binary download, not a text download.
That will preserve the 2-character line-ending, rather than switch
automatically to a single character for your mac.

How did you get  elsart.cls  to the Unix box?
If it went as text (not binary) then the line-endings will have been corrected,
so you see no problem.  Is it exactly the same size as on the Mac ?

teTeX itself is not likely to be the cause of the problem.
If TeX sees 2 line-end characters, this is interpreted as
requesting a paragraph-break.

I'd expect your .log file to be quite large, with interesting
messages consistent with this kind of problem.

There are scripts on the mac-tex site to help overcome this kind
of problem.
Or you can use Alpha or BBedit to adjust the line-endings.
 

Hope this helps,
