 * I have been using your plugin on a multisite network and every so often as the
   salts update I get the following error message
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘AUTH_KEY’ (T_STRING) in /wp-config.php
   on line 31
 * For some reason the plugin seems to add characters from time to time that break
   the salt strings between the single quotes. Do you have any input in to this?
 * It of course breaks all sites on the multisite network when it happens, so I 
   need a fix. Thank-you for any help you can provide.
