Thanks, all of this just committed.

I found the bug in the configuration file parser that was causing the
problems you described earlier -- the code was using strncmp to find a
matching parameter, but the n was set to the length of the parameter being
looked up (so if one parameter was a prefix of another, it would appear to
match).  I added a check to make sure the lengths matched before doing the
strncmp.

(This does eliminate a bit of functionality that conceivably somebody
could want, but grepping for findValue and the getString / getInteger /
getBool / getReal wrappers doesn't turn up anything that looks like the
kind of hackery that would use this.)
