Thanks for the patch, but, erm... is that really the right patch you
send me there?

The code which replaces the `goto parse_filename', is *exactly*
identical to the code running after the parse_filename label.  It would
have been a surprise if that had actually changed the behaviour and, in
fact, it didn't.

I'm also a bit puizzled about the revision number of servconf.c.  It's
1.204, but `cvs stat servconf.c' shows a revision number of 1.199 for
me.  Do you work in a repository with changes not in the public
repository?
