First, you don't mention what version of PAN.

This sounds like the problem I had with posts of over about 200 lines some
versions ago.  There's a workaround in current versions (beta version
0.14.0.95 plus) to be reexamined for 0.14.3.  However, I assume you were
posting shorter posts than that, so I can't say.. except that I know
that's PAN's behavior when it finds something it can't cope with, from the
previous long post experience.
