The problem was in my tagline file, either in the way I saved it, or
something with EOLs (or lack thereof, I'm not sure), causing the strfile
process to just concatenate them into one big ol' mess.  In any case,
with Todd's help I got the file and associated .dat in place and working
and, with further experimentation, found that I could create a small
test file and working .dat with no problem, so it was definitely
something in the file itself and the way I had created it when
transporting it over from my Windows installation.

Probably my choice of editors, but I've not narrowed the cause down yet.
