If there is a bad key in an included plfsrc file which was included using the - include: directive, that included plfsrc file will not be parsed and the the failure to parse it will not be reported to the user. Conversely, if there is a bad key directly in the plfsrc file, the plfs_init fails like so:
FATAL conf file error: Parse error in /etc/plfsrc:
Bad key or value in plfsrc: max_index_length
