The suggestion of Anonymous Monk that it’s because you skip the empty lines doesn’t persuade

And what is your suggestion, why do you think it happens ?

The code is fairly short and simple, and we only have live4tech's word that there are missing records

Your reworking of live4tech's code , aside from moving the 300,000-th line into the new file, doesn't change anything else -- if live4tech's original code had records go missing, so would your reworked code (they're virtually identical)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
