[hobbit] Editing Critical Systems doesn't save the new hosts?

The "Edit Critical Systems" page modifies the hobbit-nkview.cfg file.  The
man pages say not to edit this file directly, though it can be handy to view
the file to see how your changes got made.  I've found that the host names
are whitespace-specific, so if you have a trailing space after the host,
that is treated as part of the host name.
