Hallo, Simon,

2.43rc3 doesn't accept a second "expand hosts", and it doesn't accept a  
second "filterwin2k".
Then I stopped the further examination ...

In a shell script the lines

        var1=abcde
        var1=12345
        var1=ab12e

lead to "var1=ab12e" - that's the behaviour of dnsmasq 2.41 too. It  
simplifies working with included configuration files.

Please restore the old behaviour - thank you!

By the way: 2.43rc3 can recognise doublettes - it should be able to sort  
these doublettes in another way than "allowed" or "not allowed".

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
