read(3, "######### GENERAL SECTION\nBATCH_"..., 4096) = 610

The above string from your strace is resulting from fgets() reading.
fgets is normally reading line till the nearest end of line symbol (\n, or
\r\n)

Here it is reading a lot (610) characters, which means several (if not all)
lines.
The parser is supposed to get from fgets input as line after line.
Here the correct behavior is completely broken.
The question who is the bad man: the compiler or the glibc?

Try a one more thing - to place instead of all \n - \r\n
in vi

:set ff=dos

and save the file :wq
