[Nut-upsdev] Bug in file parsing of ups.conf

[Doug Parsons]

I do not recall but I don't think so. All the lines in the file were the 
same but I had added several to the end with a cut and paste. The pasted 
lines had what appeared to be a space added to the end of each line. There 
is a chance that it was a non printable character. Once I deleted each of 
the characters the file parsed properly. I think it would be safe to close 
this considering that no others have confirmed this and the age of the 
version.
