Description
Errors in .cnf files (e.g. STR not F32) give errors like:
psError(PS_ERR_UNKNOWN, true, "invalid item");
and then crash
The error message should be more informative (the variable name; the fact that
this is a type error), and the error shouldn't be fatal --- or if it is, I'd rather have
a SIGABRT than a SIGSEGV!

I believe this is taken care of. MetadataConfigFormat was changed earlier in
another bug, so if there is still some problem with that please let me know the
specifics. I searched for the error lines referred to here and these have been
updated as well.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
this is a problem with psMetadataConfigRead : the segfault is an actual bug,
while the uninformative errors just require work to provide more detail.
