svnlook diff misbehaving

In a windows pre-commit hook batch file I'm using svnlook diff to generate
patch files to apply to an isolated repository:

svnlook diff -t%TXN% %REPOS%\ > tmp\%FILENAME%

Most times it works, but occassionally, it'll truncate the code in the
diff, e.g.

+ <td align="right" class="smallgreytext #backstyle#">

+ <c

I’ve seen some similar reports dating back to 2009, but they were marked as
unable to reproduce (WORKSFORME):
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3522

The issue doesn’t seem to occur when using svn diff, implying that the diff
util is either a different version or has a different configuration.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

Leo
