or just delete the existing one and pull a new copy out of the original 
archive... back in the early 90s, some of us saw problems with trying to 
overwrite corrupted executables with a new copy... no clue as to why but 
deleting the original and then replacing it with a new copy worked every 
time...

it is also possible that the config is corrupted... IIRC, some folks maintain a 
backup copy of the config so they can replace it when they have problems from 
it becoming corrupted...

if all else fails, one might also use a binary editor on the config and change 
the necessary item to the desired value... of course, this will only work if 
one knows where the value is in the binary config, knows what the desired value 
should be and the system doesn't calculate some sort of checksum to ensure the 
config is not altered outside of the config program...
