.config file bug on Windows

[Kenneth]

Hi,

The problem you have encountered is not at all Windows specific,
the same error will happen on all platforms when there are no
characters after the ending dot.

For example  a config file containing the following string will give the effect described below:

"[{kernel,[{envvar,1}]}]."    % this causes problems
"[{kernel,[{envvar,1}]}]. "   % this is no problem (extra space after dot)

I have a vague memory that this is a known problem in erl_scan:tokens/3
but I have to check.
Anyway there is an easy workaround until this gets corrected.

/Kenneth

On Windows it is necessary for a .config file to end with an empty line.
If not the emulator will crash with 
{error_logger,{{2005,4,29},{18,17,8}},'"./sys.config": none:
<dot><whitespace> not foundn',[]}
