postgresql.conf - add_missing_from

postgres does not seem to pick up
the following parameter in the postgresql.conf

add_missing_from = false

Setting the parameter via psql, functions properly
SET add_missing_from TO FALSE

Using: winxp, Postges 8.0
(note: I did restart the service after updating the parameters in
postgresql.conf)

It works on my BSD system using 8.0 with postgresql.conf of:

add_missing_from = false

Did you remove the comment?
