No worries about any delay, you help is appreciated and I'm sure you're 
busy with many other things as well.

First line is:

client permian,utsc,utoronto,ca.

I'll apply the fix from svn and see if that stops the problem.  I was 
also going to upgrade to xymon-client 4.3.0 to see if that fixes things 
as well.  My guess is that some combination of sed/grep/awk is not 
working and the system identifier is not being correctly parsed.

so it looks like at least 2 different machines are causing this, both
are solaris10/x86, running hobbit-client 4.3.0-beta2
sorry it's taken some time to get back to you about this.

Could you look at the client/tmp/msg.permian.utsc.utoronto.ca.txt file
over on the client and see what it has in the first line ? I am curious why
these hosts don't report a valid system identifier.

To avoid the crash, you can grab the latest lib/misc.c file from
http://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xymon/trunk/lib/misc.c?view=log
(the 6661 revision) and drop it into your Xymon 4.3.0 sourcetree. That
should stop it crashing.
