various characters disallowed in custom services

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. configure a node with the DHCP server service
2. customize the DHCP service (e.g. change the lease time); save imn file
3. start and runs OK, but when restarting CORE, loading from imn file, the 
/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file appears truncated

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

saving/loading is mangling the customized config file

This I would guess this is related to the fact the the DHCP config file has "}" 
in it.  I'm seeing a very similar problem when using customized olsr files, all 
end curly braces are not read as part of the file when it is loaded.  I've 
included and olsrd file that I added to the dialog and how it is mangled when 
the save is reloaded or run.

I just noticed that according to the manual the imn file differentiates between 
spaces and tabs.  With spaces being used normally and one tab being used in the 
custom-*-config blocks, which is where custom files are stored.  This might be 
related to this issue.  The link to the manual is below.

changed the bug summary here: as Harry wrote, the root of this problem is that 
service customizations are not allowed to contain certain characters
