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.
