Hi Daryl,

My apologies for not getting back to you sooner about this.   Boy, this
is a wierd one!  I tried this on imogene.  The first two caused a syntax
error like you reported.  The second two, however, worked for me.  Are
you sure ".*" didn't work for you?

Offhand, nothing stands out in the code.  It uses yacc to parse the conf
file, but I've never used yacc.  I'll have to put this in the debugger
and poke around some more.  I'll let you know what I find out.
