MD5 pass: disk2\disk2-f015.vmdk
MD5 pass: disk2\disk2-f016.vmdk
MD5 pass: disk2\disk2-f017.vmdk
MD5 pass: disk2\disk2-f018.vmdk
MD5 pass: disk2\disk2-f019.vmdk
MD5 pass: disk2\disk2-f020.vmdk
MD5 pass: disk2

What do you see instead?
MD5 pass: disk2\disk2-f015.vmdk
MD5 pass: disk2\disk2-f016.vmdk
MD5 pass: disk2\disk2-f017.vmdk
MD5 pass: d
isk2\disk2-f018.vmdk

I have reproduced this issue, and the problem is that SnakeTail is using 
StreamReader and ReadLine(). And if the application writing to log is not 
writing one line at time but writing a few characters, then it is possible for 
SnakeTail to call ReadLine() and read a partial line, and when calling 
ReadLine() again it reads other part.

I'm working on changing the SnakeTail log-reader interface, so it supports 
applications that writes log lines incrementally.
