libyaml refuses all strings starting with '%'

'%' cannot start any scalar according to the YAML 1.1. It is used for escaping.
See http://yaml.org/spec/1.1/#id871856 -
"A limited form of 8-bit escaping is available using the “%” character."

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
