Unless "hostname", "MAC" and "IP" are plugins, you don't need to add them to field_register.  They can be taken care of by the ymlfront plugin.  Perhaps that is the problem?

I have also traced the data and confirmed that `$yml_str` does get properly initialized in `parse_yml`, and it is where the error is generated. So maybe there's something wrong with the YAML library?
