Why no host comments?

Howdy, All!
We're in the process of migrating our current Xymon 4.3.3 site to a new host (Solaris -> Linux) and upgrading to a new Xymon version (JC's Terabithia RPMs: Xymon 4.3.28-1.el6.terabithia<http://xymon.sourceforge.net/>).
One of the wrinkles that has me stumped is that none of the hundreds of host "COMMENT:" tags is appearing on the new server's pages!
Example:
On the old server an entry like this:
x.x.x.x hwap142 # COMMENT:"Batch App Server" // Displays a like this on the web page: hwap142 (Batch App Server)
but the same line on the new server shows only:
hwap142
---
All the associated test columns and colors are showing up just fine. Aside from the missing "COMMENT:" values, host entries appear as expected.
Clue: for some reason mousing over the name of the host on the web page reveals the missing COMMENT: text!
Help!? <smile>
