BUG syntax error on line 57, in bird.conf

[Tyler Bennett]

I am testing our bird routing daemon version to 2.0.0, on archlinux per
the pkged version of bird by the archlinux devs.

There seems to be an issue with the default bird.conf file that is
provided by the bird source code, it errors out on line 57. Does the
config file have to be edited before it can be used? I know its an
example file, but should it be erroring out.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out. I have
submitted a bug to archlinux as well:
