This appears to have been the main problem.  I just overwrote this 
changeset on the updates server with a non-truncated one, so this should 
be fixed at least.

I think I know what happened now... I actually edited KCP85 because I 
needed to merge two more recent changes (mentioned in the new 
preamble).  I did this by editing the methods and filing out the 
changeset again, but this was while I only had the KCP changes up to 85 
loaded, so the ChangeSet-related changes were still in flux, and the one 
I filed out was truncated.  (Or maybe it was truncated because it was 
originally hand-edited or some other reason.)  In any case, I used a 
text editor to merge the changes this time.

Possibly there are still bugs related to changesets right now, but the 
worst of the problems seem to be fixed.  Keep on testing...
