David, Without having a more specific answer, does this truncation by chance happen at the same place in the report list every time? (indicating there might be a problem at a certain place in the file, namely, with the description of a single report)
It is a plain text file that looks fairly straightforward in its description, so even without a roadmap for the syntax, you could peek at it and see if any report doesn’t seem to conform to the norm or if there is errant text there. Just a thought unless/until you get a more definitive answer.
