Errm. It works for me with arbitrary ordering of the items
in the config file.

read_config_file reads all of the items out of the config
file and puts them in a stringmap, which is a binary tree
of the items. stringmap_find then searches through the
binary tree. If there is indeed a bug it's unlikely to be
in the parsing -- and you can easily check this by putting
a printf in read_config_file -- in which case it would
have to be in the logic in stringmap_find. But I can't
reproduce the behaviour here.
