This is a bit mystifying, because as far as I can see the parser *does* honour tabs as you would expect. It just uses strtoul() on the whole line and thus stops at the first character that isn't part of a number.
'ltrace -S' might help to narrow down what's going on here. ** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- "Syntax error" in default bindresvport.blacklist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306007 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
