This is a shot in the dark but....

Are you using the same test data each time? If so is it the 
same line that fails each time? If so what happens if you 
delete that line from the test file?

If that's the only line that fails have you tried printing 
out the split lines?

for L in lineout: print "-------------\n" + L

It just might be that there's something strange happening in 
the substitution or splitting of that particular line?

Just a thought,
