Not sure what even creates this file, but there's a couple hundred thousand blank lines in it chunked between the different sections.

After about 12 hours of running, there's 192 blank lines before the `[inbound success: 1:218/700@fidonet]` section.

binkit.js creates and updates this file. Mine (updated today) doesn't have any excessive blank lines it.

Maybe `File.iniRemoveSection()` isn't removing extra blank lines? Looking at the code (ini_file.c), it appears it should be. Without being able to reproduce, it'll be pretty hard for me to fix.

Huh, I guess that's a new feature since I last worked on binkit.

So, of the the BBSs, only WLARB has it bad...

Synchronix has most of the entries with one space between them and up to four blanks.

BBSDev has most of the entries with no space between them, but six blanks before the last one.

WLARB though is back up to 1903 blank lines.

Every time this script runs, an extra blank line is added before \[second\]... not setting the section separator makes the issue go away:

```javascript
var f = new File(js.exec_dir + 'test.ini');

if(f.open(f.exists ? 'r+':'w+')) { f.ini_section_separator = ''; f.iniReplaceObject = function(sec, obj) { this.iniRemoveSection(sec); this.iniSetObject(sec, obj); };

f.iniSetObject('first', {key1:'val1',key2:'val2'});
f.iniReplaceObject('second', {key1:'val1',key2:'val2'});
f.close();

}
```
