That's a built-in problem with a properties-style configuration 
file--the format is open enough where it's hard to put constraints on 
the file.

If you want better configuration error-checking, try the xml-style 
configuration file. Then you can check it against the DTD before you run 
it, and that will catch a lot of possible errors.
