  Changed paths:
    M lib/innconf.c

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Refuse headers with a leading dot in OVERVIEW.FMT

Header field names beginning with a dot can no longer be added in
the extraoverviewadvertised and extraoverviewhidden parameters of
inn.conf so as to fix problems of searches and dot-stuffing (in LIST
OVERVIEW.FMT responses).

This is not (yet) supported in INN, and as this use case does not
happen in real life, do not bother supporting it.

see #286
