FS#56 - Cfg parsing error for alias/listen and custom global parameter
User who did this - Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul (andrei)

----------

It happens because of an ambiguity in the grammar with alias and listen followed by a config var.
Both alias and listen can have an unquoted host list as value. An unquoted host is a list of
 IDs separated by '.'.  Since EOL is not taken into account (it's considered normal whitespace), alias=foo.bar followed by myvar.msg="..." is interpreted as:
alias=foo.bar myvar.msg
="..."  <- error

An workaround for this (besides not having config variables after alias or host) is to add ';' after alias.
E.g.:
alias="foo.bar";
myvar.msg="...."

I don't think it can be fixed without adding an incompatible config syntax change.
We could add a special prefix for config vars. (e.g cfgvar myvar.msg="..."), document it as the right way and add an "obsolete" warning for cfg. vars declared without this prefix.
