[wp-testers] Missing "?>" tag in "wp-config.sample.php"

[alonzo fretwell]

i run am running 3.0b1 on a debian server that was installed using
"apt-get". its install architecture is considerably different from the 5min
install. the latest version of wordpress in my debian repository is 2.0.12.

my debian wp-config.php is debian specific and warns against changes to it.
if wp-config were to be update by and upgrade it would most likely break my
install.

subsequent to my wp-config being off limits to alter changes normally made
there are made in a file called wp-settings.php which is called by
wp-config.php.

so far the only change i have made in wp-settings is when i wanted to
activate the mu functions for 3.0b1.

despite lack of clarity on when wp-config.php should be updated. its better
for me that it is never updated.

a corollary given by andrew is that i will continue to be able to upgrade my
wp install as long as wp-config.php continues to be untouched by updates.
