Re: balsa generates a bad .balsarc

["Jesse D. Sightler" <jsight pair com>]

I have the exact same problem here, except that in my case the error on
line 2 is simply "/home/jsight/.balsarc:line 2: syntax error"

I've tried looking through the source just a little, but so far have had
zero success in that endeavor.  :)  I guess that I will investigate more
later.
