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 at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> cat FOOBAR
include FOO
ttyp0:bde at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> cat FOO
machine		i386
cpu		I486_CPU
ident		FOO
ttyp0:bde at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> config FOOBAR
config: FOO:1: syntax error
ttyp0:bde at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> config FOO
Kernel build directory is ../compile/FOO
Don't forget to do a ``make depend''
ttyp0:bde at besplex:/usr/src/sys/i386/conf> exit

%%%

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.
