It sure sounds like the newline thing.

I'm away from my computer right now (writing this on a public text-only
terminal) so I can't check the source easily. But the very heart of the
problem is the regular expression that matches the structural parameters,
and the regular expressions before that which remove the comments.

Hmm, maybe tr/\x0d\x0a/\n\n/g
before it could help, simply translating everything to newlines before
matching that RE.

I can look at this in more detail in a few hours when I get home.
