Indeed. I think it's a Windows-newline issue: you probably edited the
config file with something that put in \r\n instead of \n. The
overstruck LOG is a dead giveaway...

I thought we had fixed the various config file parsers to be reasonably
impervious to stray \r's, but you may have found a corner case where
it's not recognized as whitespace. Try getting rid of the \r's.
