In param.c, when the ua-config file is being scanned and a value of
type STR is encountered, it checks for a " as the first character in
the value.  The variable canon is set true if a " is ecountered and
this is used to determine whether to scan to a closing " or to a white
space or null.  Unfortunately, canon is not set to false if the first
character is not a ".  This leads to some rather exotic loops.  A diff
of my fix follows:

<  				if (line[pos] == '"') {
<  					canon = 1;
<  					pos++;
<  				}

> 				canon = (line[pos] == '"');
> 				if (canon) pos++;
