[Patch] fix parsing of statistics type-attribute

From: Martin Peschke
Date: Tue Mar 06 2007 - 14:26:32 EST


Without this fix the the statistics user interface accepted, for example:

echo name=my_stats type=utilisa > definition

while it should only accept:

echo name=my_stats type=utilisation > definition
