Ok.  I understand.

On the subject of integrity checks, we've had trouble with syntax errors in
config files.  I don't recall the details, because we were in a hurry to
help a customer get spread running.  I believe the curly braces were
unbalanced.  The daemon started but was effectively unresponsive.  It
wouldn't communicate with other daemons.  It would be helpful if the daemon
could complain about invalid config files rather than running in an unknown
state.
