This must be a common problem with other *ix, too.
I noticed that the solaris manpages warn about trailing spaces in this file.
I guess the Linux behaviour is just mimicing that of other os's.

Subject: Re: [SLUG] Anyone else had this problem?
yes i had the same problem. didn't take me that long to figure out
though. the problem was a *space*. one extra space in there somewhere
seems to be the downfall in some network config files.
your can't see a space in your file but it can sure mess it up. i did the
same fix as well. deleted the file and retyped it. that's why a rebuild
doesn't always work. you copy the origional mucked up files back to the
new build and get the same problem.
