Maybe the parser is broken in your version and fixed in mine, or vice
versa??  I'm running  Xymon 4.3.28-rc2 on CentOS 7.
I'm running 4.3.26 on Solaris 10. I doubt anything has changed between .26 and .28 in this segment of the code. In the past, we've seen problems on Solaris related to parsing and blank space. I suspect this is just another of them.

Thank you for the confirmation that the problems does not extend to the more common linux installations. This is a defect, but a defect which affects a small user-group.

I'll make do with the understanding that my reg-ex can't include 'less than'.
