I removed the "rfc1583compat no;" line and it works fine.  The parser is
complaining about the line below where it seems to die, I think.  I just
tried with the following:

protocol ospf {
  rfc1583compat no;
*  import all;
  export all;
  ...
}

And the parser complained about the line marked (*).  Removal of the line
above this (the one containing "rfc1583compat no;") fixes the
problem.  Any idea what's happening here?  This is a completely repeatable
bug.
