If you have saved the logfile with "Notepad" (on Windows), then
possible that saved it with Windows-style-EOL: \r\n, instead of
standard Unix format, simple \n.

At this case, the lenght of line will longer with one character,
that breaks Tlf.

On Linux you can cut the unnecessary chars from the end of lines:

tr -d "\015" < logfile_saved_with_notepad.log > logfile_current

see format in source, if you interest:

src/log_to_disk.c
src/makelogline.c - this one has a big comment the top of the
                    file, but it's very outdated
