Possibly useful general suggestion: If you have two chunks of text which
cause different behaviour despite you cannot see a difference, you could
write them to two files and use diff on them. Assuming the files are
called a and b,

[rw@ftvaux]/tmp#diff -u a b
--- a   2026-02-27 18:45:53.817987576 +0000
+++ b   2026-02-27 18:45:17.386790122 +0000

     service 110
     proto POP3
-    user "brown@???
