 Duh.  I knew that.  The bug was not submitted because I thought that I
 had the separator correct.  The bug was submitted because just having an
 incorrect separator should NOT cause the entire system to get stuck in
 an infinite loop on startup.  That behavior is WAY too pathological for
 such a minor mistake.
