To move on from the ugliness on the other thread a new one. I would appreciate a heads up and some advice:
David has pointed at some serious corruption in the conf files. Contrary to his assumption this has nothing to do with my computing a conf file mechanism but happens somewhere en route between my finalised conf file (which look more or less the same as the ones he wants me to upload) and the ones which appear on the server. The ones on the server are bad. Seriously bad. This is what I do: I zip a finalised module (conf file ok). I scp it to the server. I unzip it in a staging area. I use the engine's installer to move it from my staging area to the server's module area and move the zip to the zip packages. As both zip conf file and ftp conf file are the same way corrupted the problem is in the zip/scp/unzip process.
