qconf -mrqs: Problems to read it’s own output:
If you try to edit a rule in non SGE_SINGLE_LINE mode, an added space
and line break in the "long" limits leads to
errors when you store and exit the editor (even
without changing a single character).

$ qconf -mrqs
{
name frcq_limit_550_usage
description Limit emulator slot usage to 2
enabled TRUE
limit users * projects frcq hosts muc-ax4x.micronas.com, \
muc-ax5x.micronas.com to axis_slots_550=2
}

---> returns:

unknown attribute name "muc-ax5x.micronas.com"
each value in the attribute value list in line 6 should end with
"<NEWLINE>"
unrecognized characters after the attribute values in line 6: "to"
each value in the attribute value list in line 6 should end with "}"

The \ is not recognized and both space and \ have to be removed
and all of the limit has to be on one line
before one can write back the rules successfully.
