[AMBER] PLUMED misformatted output file

Amber users,

I'm using Amber20 with PLUMED 2.8.0 to do umbrella sampling along a custom
CV. Everything is going fine, except on rare occasions the PLUMED output
files will have some serious formatting errors. A couple recent examples:

A missing newline:

 ...

 18.735000 -9.940796

 18.736000 -9.89812 18.776000 -10.107412

 18.777000 -10.098970

 18.778000 -10.053000

 ...

Overwriting the end of one line with the next:

 ...

 18.406000 -10.088869

 18.407000 -10.08718.368000 -9.975116

 18.369000 -10.082246

 ...

Asking around among some colleagues who regularly use PLUMED with Gromacs,
they don't report having ever encountered something like this, so I'm
guessing it's Amber-specific. Does anyone have any suggestions to prevent
this from happening?

An input file, for completeness:

Umbrella sampling
  &cntrl
        imin =0,
        irest=0,
        ntx=1,
        ntxo=1,
        nstlim=250000,
        dt=0.001,
        ntt=2,
        tempi=310.0,
        temp0=310.0,
        vrand=1000,
        ntp=1,
        taup=2.0,
        ntb=2,
        ntc=2,
        ntf=2,
        ntwx=250,
        ntpr=250,
        ntwr=250,
        ntwv=-1
        cut=8.0,
        iwrap=0,
        ifqnt=1,
        igb=0,
        nmropt=1,
        ig=-1,
        plumed=1,
        plumedfile='plumed.in',
  /
  &qmmm
        qmmask=".1908-1912,2532-2537,2983-2993,3833-3886",
        qmcharge=-1,
        qm_theory="DFTB3",
        qm_ewald=1,
        qmshake=0,
        qmcut=8.0,
  /
 &wt
  type="END",
 &end
DISANG=additional_restraints.DISANG

And here's the relevant bits of a representative plumed.in file:

...
restraint-rc: RESTRAINT ARG=RC KAPPA=100.0 AT=-9.75
PRINT ARG=RC FILE=rcwin_-9.75_1_us.dat

Thanks!
