Hi again all.
   I ran into the problem once more, but this time I was able to figure out
exactly why it failed.
It seems that if the line is changed to "random = dev" then all is ok, but I
had actually got "random = dev " (note the extra space at the end).

So the problem was my accidentally placing a space in the file.
