    My example written last Februry still shows that even simple includes
    don't work:

    %%%
    Script started on Tue Feb 25 14:16:01 2003
    ttyp0:bde@besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> cat FOOBAR
    include FOO
    ttyp0:bde@besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> cat FOO
    machine i386
    cpu I486_CPU
    ident FOO
    ttyp0:bde@besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> config FOOBAR
    config: FOO:1: syntax error
    ttyp0:bde@besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> config FOO
    Kernel build directory is ../compile/FOO
    Don't forget to do a ``make depend''
    ttyp0:bde@besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> exit

    Script done on Tue Feb 25 14:16:23 2003
    %%%

    Similarly with FOOBAR's contents identical with SMP's contents except
    for including FOO instead of GENERIC. So the bug must be related to
    the file being included ... adding an empty or comment line to the
    beginning of FOO works around it. I guess there is an off-by-1 byte
    or line error switching the input stream.
