Subject: Error in configuration file '/tmp/n' - Line 75 (NULL value)

[Nagios list]

If I include a
	define timeperiod{
	...
in the main config file, I get the error
	Error in configuration file '/tmp/n' - Line 75 (NULL value)
(Line 75 is where the timeperiod definition is.)

However, if I have the same definition, but in a separate
timeperiods.cfg file, there's no problem.

Nagios version is 1.2, on Linux Woody.

(I don't know if the error occurs with other than 'timeperiod' --
it looks like not, but I haven't narrowed it down.)

I'm writing a Nagios tutorial and want to have a single,
tiny, example config file, but this prevents it, which makes
things much more difficult for newbies.

Is it a known problem?  Is there a fix?

	Thanks,
	Niall
