It seems the machine just can't keep up with the processing.
When I loaded just the local.rules signature file, I'm now seeing proper checksum in files-json.log, and the stored file is not truncated.

I'm running with "ac-bs" and the machine has free memory, but probably the CPU is just not enough. (Xeon E5420 @ 2.50GHz).
