Remove the leading spaces before the new records. A label must begin
at the first column, otherwise the name is inherited from the previous
RR.

This is most likely your problem.

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
(Ivan Karamazov, in Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov')
