[Firehol-support] Bittorrent

Two items:

1.  First, a request to add the "BitTorrent" service definition to the 
standard database:
server_bittorrent_ports="tcp/6881 tcp/6882 tcp/6883 tcp/6884 tcp/6885 
tcp/6886 tcp/6887 tcp/6888 tcp/6889  udp/6881 udp/6882 udp/6883 udp/6884 
udp/6885 udp/6886 udp/6887 udp/6888 udp/6889"
client_bittorrent_ports="default 6881 6882 6883 6884 6885 6886 6887 6888 
6889"

2.  I'm having a bizarre problem with using this definition.  On an 
apparent intermittent basis, using this definition in my router clause 
results in:
****
firehol try

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR   : # 1.
WHAT    : A runtime command failed to execute (returned error 1).

FireHOL: Restoring old firewall: OK
****

No errors are received with my interface/server lines, however.  Then, 
if I copy the above custom definition, and rename it to say 
"server_abc_ports/client_abc_ports", then use "router abc accept" - no 
problem.

I've re-typed the "router bittorrent accept" line several times, and 
copied the working "server bittorrent accept" line from my interface 
clause while changing "server" to "router" - and I still have the 
problem, so I don't think it's a typo.
