FATAL ERROR: Adding a space after an admin role prevents allocation of ports

This is going to sound like complete hyperbole, but I've spent hour and a half from 9:27pm until now debugging this and trying to fix this issue.
Two of my servers, #1 and #4, crashed two hours ago. To try fixing them, I killed the processes and let them restart. They didn't show up in the server list after killing them multiple times. Finally, I killed the whole server stack in an attempt to fix it.
After I killed the whole server stack, the first thing I did was verify game cache with SteamCMD. I did this, redownloaded Assembly-CSharp and Smod2 to the latest versions, and restarted the stack.
It still didn't work.
I updated MultiAdmin to the latest version.
It still didn't work.
I moved my SCP installation folder to a new directory and downloaded a fresh copy.
It still didn't work.
Finally, I moved my "SCP Secret Laboratory" folder out of my .config directory, and it worked! I moved files one-by-one (SteamIdBans.txt, IpBans.txt, etc.) until I isolated it down to the config_remoteadmin.txt file.
I thought it might be an invalid character in my admin password, so I set it back to none. I set override_password_role to owner instead of admin. Finally, I removed my whole admin list except for myself, and it worked!!!
I added back my entire list of admins from backup, and started removing them one-by-one from the bottom up. Finally, I downloaded the file to Windows and opened it in Notepad2...
It was a single space. A single space character made my server incapable of instantiating a socket for port 7777, 7778, or any other port for that matter.
Actually, it might have been the newline at the end of the file. Newline or space, one of the two.
This isn't a problem with MultiAdmin, this would be for ServerMod https://github.com/Grover-c13/Smod2
