I supposed you were editing the logfile. What you report is a different 
problem.

As Burkart already advised you, don't put too much faith in the rescued 
image.

Ddrescue should never write a corrupt logfile. Do you have any idea of 
what could happen here? Maybe the logfile was been written to another 
USB drive that got affected by the failure of the input drive?
