I can give you one clue from past experience.  I had a problem similar to 
this years ago and finally traced it to a nul character (00) in the line that 
was causing problems in the config file.  It wasn't in Max.Ctl but I can 
imagine that it could cause difficulties in any text-based config.  Took two 
days to find the blasted thing.
The include for menus.ctl is next to the last line in my max.ctl if that 
means anything.  Like:
 Include Colors.Ctl
 Include Reader.Ctl
 Include Language.Ctl
 Include Msgarea.Ctl
 Include Filearea.Ctl
 Include Menus.Ctl
 Include Protocol.Ctl
Best,
 -Jack
