Looking at the Hotlist files posted by Richard Torrens, the entry which
caused the truncation was (on one line):
<li><a href="http://www.vivastreet.co.uk/east-anglia">
••▷ East Anglia Free ads, East Anglia classifieds,
East Anglia FREE CLASSIFIED ADS, 450,000+ free classifieds in the
UK</a></li>
Ah, and the one from the list I reported is
<a
href="http://elegantmusings.com/">Casey’s Elegant
Musings</a>
So the problem is caused by adding webpages with UTF characters in the
title to your hotlist (and not editing the default title - which I
normally do, but in this case didn't....)
