I had a bb-host entry that looked like the following:

128.210.003.177 zorn.math.purdue.edu      # \
                bbd ntp ssh smtp imaps pop3s \
                http://hobbit.math.purdue.edu/ \
                https://helpdesk.math.purdue.edu/ \
                TRENDS:vmstat:vmstat2|vmstat3|vmstat6|vmstat7|\
                vmstat8|vmstat9|vmstat0,\
                netstat:netstat0|netstat1|netstat2|netstat3

In the above format I would not get vmstat[8,9,0] TRENDS but I would get the
netstat TRENDS.

When I changed the lines to look like the following it all worked.

128.210.003.177 zorn.math.purdue.edu      # \
                bbd ntp ssh smtp imaps pop3s \
                http://hobbit.math.purdue.edu/ \
                https://helpdesk.math.purdue.edu/ \
TRENDS:vmstat:vmstat2|vmstat3|vmstat6|vmstat7|vmstat8|vmstat9|vmstat0,\
netstat:netstat0|netstat1|netstat2|netstat3

Is there something in the TRENDS format that require things to be on the
same line?

The code handling line continuation does have some subtleties, yes.
I would recommend not splitting a single setting over multiple lines.
