      we see a LOT of new users having trouble with unintended syntax errors in config.js.
      they don’t know, and MM is running happily without their changes…

      so, I want to propose adding the call to tests/configs/check_config.js as part of the error handling…

      this was easy, except… MM keeps running with the default config… which it shouldn’t…

      I’ve tried all kind of things… process.exit(0); is quick death… except the output of the tests/configs/check_config.js isn’t flushed, so the messages don’t show up…

      they took out process.stdout.flush() a long time ago…

      none of the workarounds appear to work…

      anyone got any ideas?

      thanks…
