Hi Sean,
well the problem is more complex than that. In fact pmk is parsing 
comments but doesn't update the frame buffer while going through 
skip_useless() function. So when the sum of comment lines in a same 
block is larger than the size of the buffer you got this error.
The attached diff fix this problem and a new release should be out as 
soon as i finish my actual changes to pmksetup.

Since the 0.7 release CHECK_INCLUDE() has been obsoleted by 
CHECK_HEADER() which from my point of vue is a better name.
I kept the compatibility with 0.8.x releases but decided to remove it in 
0.9 as the 0.7 release is 15 months old. The bad point is that we forgot 
to update the man page until 3 months ago so that's maybe why you didn't 
catch the change if you don't follow cvs commit messages.

Cheers,
Damien
