At the risk of invoking thoughts involving grandmothers and eggs, 
specifically, does your hostfs/extensions/txt contain entries:

c85 : jpg,jfif,jpeg

faf : htm,html,htl

?

If not, that would explain the problem and these lines would need to 
be added.

above solved the problem. Worth looking at?
