Include statement in bird 1.3.3

[Mathias Wolkert]

Hi

I am trying to create a distributed config in bird where I move all bgp
to a file of its own.

What is the syntax I should use?
Doc says:

include "filename"

So I tried:
include "/etc/bird-bgp.conf";

and /etc/bird-bgp.conf looking like this:

protocol bgp {
	router id 1.1.1.1;
	local as 65555;
	neighbor 1.1.1.2 as 65535;
	import filter imp;
	export filter exp;	
}

With this config, bird refuses to start, hanging at "Restarting Internet
routing daemon: bird"

bird 1.3.3
Debian 5 2.6.32-bpo.3-amd64

Any input is much appreciated.
