> If a Byte order mark ("BOM") is present in a .conf file, Asterisk will incorrectly state in the log that it has parsed the file but will in effect actually skip the file entirely, without throwing a warning or error.
> The BOM is a series of three bytes, 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF, represented by Unicode code point U+FEFF, and is typically located at the very start of a text file, and sometimes at the start of one or more lines in a text file.
> A test patch prodced and offered by [~seanbright] on IRC proved to solve the problem.
