   or just delete the existing one and pull a new copy out of the original   
   archive... back in the early 90s, some of us saw problems with trying to   
   overwrite corrupted executables with a new copy... no clue as to why but   
   deleting the original and then replacing it with a new copy worked every   
   time...   
      
   it is also possible that the config is corrupted... IIRC, some folks maintain   
   a backup copy of the config so they can replace it when they have problems   
   from it becoming corrupted...   
      
   if all else fails, one might also use a binary editor on the config and change   
   the necessary item to the desired value... of course, this will only work if   
   one knows where the value is in the binary config, knows what the desired   
   value should be and the system doesn't calculate some sort of checksum to   
   ensure the config is not altered outside of the config program...
