You can wait for Rainer to weigh in, but if you want to test more I would 
start by commenting out everything you can and see if it works, then 
putting more stuff back until it fails.

I have noticed that V5 tends to be a bit more sensitive to invalid lines 
than v4 was, v4 seemed to just ignore what it couldn't understand and 
continue, v5 just goes nuts (very similar to what you re reporting)

you may also try adding '$AboortOnUncleanConfig yes' to the config. I 
found that gave me an error in some cases where it just wouldn't do what I 
expected without it.
