Actually I have found the problem, and leanred some new stuff along with it.
Apparently all Linux files have a mime type information stored in them, which can be checked using command: file -i <filename> For my extensions.ael, which I copied from a different server, the mime type is 'text/x-c' whereas all the other files have mime type 'text/plain'. Now if I create a new file extemsions.maelstrom on this machine which is by default 'text/plain', there are no errors on doing 'ael reload', however using extensions.maelstrom with mime type 'text/x-c' gives errors, though the code works fine. How it got mime type 'text/x-c' on the other machine, Vim which I use there assigned it this mime type. I'll have to fix it there. Now I am trying to figure out how to convert between mime types. A simpler solution is to just copy text to a new file, but would be nice to do a proper conversion.

Is there any chance that these files were edited on a Windows machine and then copied back to the Asterisk boxes? That is, are there some nefarious ^m characters hiding in there?
