Yes. That's what I thought. :-/

strip() is called after the parsing of hostescalation's contactgroups 
but not after the parsing of:
- hostescalation's contacts
- serviceescalation's contactsgroups
- serviceescalation's contacts.
- And some other places where comma separated values are authorized like 
*_commands. Note however that *_options, *_coords and timeranges should 
not need call to strip().

/* strip newline, carriage return, and tab characters from beginning and 
end of a string */
void strip(char *buffer)

So the example I gave you before would only work for hostescalation's 
contactgroups but not anywhere else.

A cleanup should be done by removing the white-space delimiter and 
adding strip() calls where necessary.
