There are two problems with making changes via "config_list -o" "edit
the file" "config_list -i"

The first problem is this is generally extra and unnecessary work.
config_list -i only changes those settings in the input, so it is
sufficient to just make a file with the one or two settings you want
to change and use that as input to config_list.

The more significant issue is "config_list -o" only dumps those list
settings which are in the admin web interface, so in this case, unless
you have upgraded to 2.1.10b1, you won't see admin_member_chunksize in
the config_list output, and if you have upgraded to 2.1.10b1 or later,
you can just set it on the General Options page.

config_list -o is useful for backing up list settings before
experimenting with multiple changes or just to have a backup. It is
also useful for creating a template configuration to be applied to
other lists, but to just change a few settings, the dump/edit/reload
scenario is generally overkill.
