I tried to broke the configuration with 2.0.16 as you firstly made and
now have a message that indicate clearly the error:
Thu Jun 5 00:36:17 2014: There were errors in your configuration file:
Thu Jun 5 00:36:17 2014: ANNOUNCEMENT: Invalid character / in key ()
at /etc/inspircd/inspircd.conf:62:34 (inside tag pid at line 62)
So i can close this bug now, feel free to reopen if necessary (as i'll
prepare upload for 2.0.16 soon).
