In its default mode, pico can be a little reckless with regard to long 
lines (longer than the length at which it wants to wrap). If you edit such 
a line, it will break the line with a hard return. This would almost
guarantee a corrupt config file.

If you need to use pico for such things, be sure to start it up with the
-w option, which will disable wrapping. If you already know all of this,
never mind :)
