Suricata

Configuration test mode succeeds even when reference.config has invalid content:

$ echo "this is invalid" > reference.config
jlucovsky@ ~/src/jal/suricata (master) $ suricata -T -c suricata.yaml -S ~/rules/be.rule

jlucovsky@ ~/src/jal/suricata (master) $ echo $?
0

The expected behavior is to have a return code of 1 for the last step.
