Bug#686449: userv: Parser unable to parse `range' condition

[Mark Wooding]

Package: userv
Version: 1.0.5-0.2
Severity: normal

The `range' condition can never be parsed successfully. You get an error

found keyword `1000', expected linear whitespace

instead.

The bug is in `parser.c'. The function `pa_mwsp' insists on parsing some
whitespace; `pa_numberdollar' explains that it `[a]lso parses the whitespace
beforehand' and indeed does so. But `pcf_range' calls `pa_mwsp' before each
call to `pa_numberdollar'. As a result, any whitespace before the numeric or
`$' arguments has been consumed already, and the `pa_mwsp' called from
`pa_numberdollar' will always fail.
