thanks for looking into this. one thing worth noting is that the ascii version of the file attached in comment #5 (interfaces.fail) is indented but non-working. in fact, i only found that the utf8 version worked by accident; i cut'n'pasted what i had posted in the original report back into my interfaces and suddenly it worked! eventually i found the non-printing characters, but was left with no real understanding of the problem.
