gnokii says more context details on the orphaned line.
I always wonder why people are unwilling to paste the error messages
as they are and instead they are manually typing what thay saw. It's
much harder to do that way! And developers usually know their code so
when they see exact problem it's more likely to help.

Make sure you have unix line endings (\n) and not windows/dos line
endings (\r\n) -- I'm not sure if the latter works.

gnokii looks in the following locations:

%SYSTEMROOT%\gnokiirc
code:
        systemroot = getenv("SYSTEMROOT");
        strncpy(globalrc, systemroot ? systemroot : "", MAX_PATH_LEN);
        strncat(globalrc, "\\gnokiirc", MAX_PATH_LEN);

%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\\_gnokiirc
code:
        homedir = getenv("HOMEDRIVE");
        strncpy(rcfile, homedir ? homedir : "", MAX_PATH_LEN);
        homedir = getenv("HOMEPATH");
        strncat(rcfile, homedir ? homedir : "", MAX_PATH_LEN);
        strncat(rcfile, "\\_gnokiirc", MAX_PATH_LEN);

You may check your env variables to see where gnokii is looking for
the configs. This is ancient code. If currently windows apps behave
differently feel free to contribute the code that changes it.
