 incon-degr-cmd ":";
 (or incon-degr-cmd "killall -9 heartbeat"; [<-- nice one, eh?])

would probably solve this, or just comment it out completely.
this has nothing to do with 0.7.17, but is a bug fix for huge comment
blocks that segfaulted the config parser of the drbdadm user space tool
(I think that fix has been in 0.7.11)
I'll need to have a look at the parser code again.

no worries here, you probably loaded the drbd module before starting
drbd, so it used the default of two resources (not nodes).
the drbd init script counts the configured resources, and loads the
module with the "minor_count=N" parameter (unless you specify that you
want more in the global {} section).
