It did occur to me that one way to search for the problem was binary -
split the file in two and find which half has the problem. Then
repeat. Except after splitting it, neither half caused problems.
Putting the original back also didn't restore the problem.

My thought is that one conceivable explanation could be the file had
got too big. It was over 42KB in size. It seems to have shrunk down
to 39KB.

If things are still as clear as mud then waiting to see if anyone else
has a similar problem may be a good way forward.
