Enabling options like ServerAliveInterval for a specific host does not work: Host example.com ServerAliveInterval 30 should enable the keepalive *only* for example.com, when in fact does do that globally (for all hosts), even a later Host * ServerAliveInterval 0 will not help. Reason is that at the parse_time label, activep is not honored.

Seems reasonable.
Applied, thanks. It will be in 4.6.
Close resolved bugs after release.
