Shouldn't you handle `=', `:', and `,' properly?

ldconfig(8):
[...]
|   Some  existing  libs  do  not  contain  enough information to allow the
|   deduction of their type,  therefore  the  /etc/ld.so.conf  file  format
|   allows  the  specification  of an expected type.  This is only used for
|   those ELF libs which we can not work  out.  The  format  is  like  this
|   "dirname=TYPE",  where type can be libc4, libc5 or libc6.  (This syntax
|   also works on the command line).  Spaces are not allowed. Also see  the
|   -p option.
[...]
|   /etc/ld.so.conf     File  containing  a list of colon, space, tab, new-
|                       line, or comma spearated directories  in  which  to
|                       search for libraries.
