--lint reports "failed to parse line, skipping: _ _2_ _R_TEXT_"; can't find the problem

[snowcrash+spamassassin <sc...@gmail.com>]

i have installed,

	> spamassassin --version
		SpamAssassin version 3.1.8-r454679
		  running on Perl version 5.8.8

after a recent sa-update, --lint returns,

	[7718] dbg: plugin: fixed relative path:
/etc/mail/spamassassin/updates/3.001008/updates_spamassassin_org/80_additional.cf
	[7718] dbg: config: using
"/etc/mail/spamassassin/updates/3.001008/updates_spamassassin_org/80_additional.cf"
for included file
	[7718] dbg: config: read file
/etc/mail/spamassassin/updates/3.001008/updates_spamassassin_org/80_additional.cf
	[7718] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping: _ _2_ _R_TEXT_

but,

	> cd /etc/mail/spamassassin/updates/3.001008/updates_spamassassin_org
	> ls 80_additional.cf
		80_additional.cf
	> grep -i R_TEXT 80_additional.cf
	>

and, even,

	> cd /etc/mail/spamassassin
	> grep -rlni R_TEXT .

suggestions as to what/where the issue may be?

thanks.

This looks like the type of hidden files Apple computers leave
everywhere on my network filesystems.  It seems like every file a Mac
sees that isn't on a native Mac filesystem, it creates one of these
hidden files named ._filename.ext.

Very annoying, and I wish I could ban Macs from the network but the boss
won't give it up.

it turns out that there was a hidden file in the same directory as my
"local.cf" named,

         "._local.cf"

filled with garbage, which the --lint was loading/reading.

deleting it makes the --lint failure go away.

i have NO idea where that came from.  _i_ most certainly did not create it.

i never would have thought to look for a _hidden_ *.cf file; i
stumbled across it.

could we, perhaps, have an option (at ./configure time, maybe?) to
TURN OFF loading of hidden .cf's?

thanks.

/etc/mail/spamassassin/updates ?

No idea what that's about.  The underscores could be other random/non-print
chars btw.  I just did an update which worked fine.
