On the latest v4 dev version I am trying to include a v3 ALIAS dictionary
file (shipped with the source) for some testing.

In the main dictionary file, I am using:

$INCLUDE dict/v3/dictionary.aruba

# cat dict/v3/dictionary.aruba

ALIAS   Aruba-User-Role                                 26.14823.1
ALIAS   Aruba-User-Vlan                                 26.14823.2
ALIAS   Aruba-Priv-Admin-User                           26.14823.3
ALIAS   Aruba-Admin-Role                                26.14823.4
ALIAS   Aruba-Essid-Name                                26.14823.5
ALIAS   Aruba-Location-Id                               26.14823.6
ALIAS   Aruba-Port-Identifier                           26.14823.7
ALIAS   Aruba-MMS-User-Template                         26.14823.8
ALIAS   Aruba-Named-User-Vlan                           26.14823.9
[snip]


But the server errors upon start:

Failed reading site-local dictionary: Out of memory
Failed parsing dictionary at
/usr/local/etc/raddb/dict/v3/dictionary.aruba[1]
from $INCLUDE at /usr/local/etc/raddb/dictionary[181]
Failed parsing dictionary at /usr/local/etc/raddb/dictionary[181]

I tried other v3 ALIAS files and the same so not Aruba specific.

Any ideas? The server starts and runs perfectly fine without this include
line.

Thanks,

James
