Yep that was it.

I took the conf file from a test scenario. I deduct that this option is
new as of 4.4.0 due to the new socket implementation.

I would like to add some own configuration options to strongswan to be
used by my modifications. Do I only need to modify
starter/keywords.[c|h|txt] or do I also need to change the starter code
itself?

Do I also need to change 'static const short lookup[]' and  'static
const unsigned char asso_values[]' in keywords.c? I get the impression
this is generated somehow and thats why the keywords.txt file exists.

Thought as much :)

Cannot recreate error now, probably solved during a fresh compile.

Any 'netiquette' for creating new tickets and assigning them to a
version then?
