parsing bug in hobbit-clients.cfg

Hi

Suppose you have the following entry in hobbit-clients.cfg:

HOST=blog.example.com,example.com PROC apache

then the PROC test will be ignored for example.com. If the two hosts are reversed, i.e.

HOST=example.com,blog.example.com PROC apache

then the PROC test will be done for both hosts. I tried with a few variations on this and it appears that any later string in the comma separated list will be ignored if it is a substring of a string that appeared earlier. The same goes for EXHOSTS and probably most other selectors.

This bug is present in at least versions 4.3.0 beta2 (from Debian lenny-backports) and 4.2.0 (from Debian lenny).
