Open a copy of your emerge.log in vim and do:

  :%s/\*\*\*// 

After that KWrite will handle the file without a problem.  As to 
why, I can only guess: when the stars are still there, KWrite shows 
folding markers, so it sees the file as some kind of code and tries 
to "format" it, arrange it in paragraphs, and sometime searches the 
entire file in vain for some matching paragraph-closing element.  
When the stars are gone, it sees the file as plain text and doesn't 
do any searching.
