startup config check weirdness

[Fabio Coatti]

Hi all,
we noticed a weird behaviour during a nginx restart.
Basically, the config file was not ok: the "events" section was missing.
the "pre-flight" config check returned "1" as exit errorlevel, but it also 
printed the message that the syntax was ok.
We spent some time trying to figure what's happening, and we find the 
errorelevel "1" only using the startup script provided by gentoo, otherwise 
the normal command line check would have given us wrong indication (syntax 
ok).

The error log is pretty informative:
2007/09/11 12:27:53 [emerg] 28976#0: no "events" section in configuration

Is this the expected behaviour or it's better that the configuration test will 
fail with some error, instead of a "syntax OK"
(strictly speaking, the syntax was correct, it was a missing section causing 
problems :) )
