I found the bug. It wasn't that it stopped reading too early. It was  
that I wasn't properly looking for the = sign in the various fields.

The problem is that in chamorro.conf, TextSource=http:// 
ChamorroBible.org was at the end of the About and not on it's own line.

My code assumes that = was a reserved character and would only be  
used to separate key from value.

Does anyone know whether = is reserved.

The bug only appears in this one file. So, I am not worried about the  
melding of About into a big line. I can go either way.

I am assuming that \ won't be after every \par.

For example, the esv.conf has " \par \par \" and many others have  
"\par\pard \".

Many thanks for your attention to these matters!
