I just solved this. The answer is really bizarre.

Pan shares slrn's score file. Pan recently just stopped scoring
completely. I'd done no tweaking to configurations or files.

Tonight I created an empty Score file and pointed Pan at it.

Then, rule by rule, I copied my shared score file into the new clean one.
The shared file was almost 700 lines long. First come my hand-rolled
rules. They're followed by client-produced rules.

Every time I'd add another rule from the shared score file to the new test
file, Pan would score just fine.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Endlessly. :)

When the *next to last rule* was pasted into the test file, Pan stopped
scoring.

I pulled that rule and moved the last one up into its position.

Pan scored - and continues to score - just fine.

I see NOTHING odd about the rule. It's a straitforward rule based on
Subject:

It looks like every other client-generated rule.

Solved. But replaced by a new puzzle. :)
