Previously top would warn users if an older version of an rcfile was about to be overwritten. That's assuming that RCFILE_NOERR was not defined. This left, however, other potential rcfile issues or questions unattended. For example, if a faulty 'inspect' redirected echo had overwritten all window entries or if the inspect entry was not 'pipe' or 'file' (actually, just a 'p' or 'f') then top would silently accept it but look no further. With this commit top will try to process every inspect entry, while preserving unrecognized entries. Plus all other non-fatal rcfile errors will now alert a user to the potential overwrite when the 'W' command is given. (now that we know a '.' + 2 spaces is squeezed to one) (everything's perfectly justified, but it's just luck) Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
