I've noticed that this is only happening to alerts received from status
that were collected via custom client scripts called from the
clientlaunch.cfg
Also, if it helps, here is the HTML for the page BEFORE I had the
problem: You can see the "/H3" tag is being placed in the wrong spot
<br><br><a name="begindata"> </a>
<CENTER><TABLE ALIGN=CENTER BORDER=0 SUMMARY="Detail Status">
<TR><TD ALIGN=LEFT><H3> Listener QA_POSLAB05_QM.LISTENER.TCP is RUNNING</H3>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<br><br>
<table align="center" border=0 summary="Status report info">
<tr><td align="center"><font COLOR="#87a9e5" SIZE="-1">Status unchanged in 0.00 minutes<br>
Status message received from 10.59.255.137<br>
</font></td></tr>
</table>
And here the the HTML after I saw the problem:
<br><br><a name="begindata"> </a>
<CENTER><TABLE ALIGN=CENTER BORDER=0 SUMMARY="Detail Status">
<TR><TD ALIGN=LEFT><H3> Listener QA_POSLAB05_QM.LISTENER.TCP is INACTIVE - 9:22:53 6/25/2012Status unchanged in 0.00 minutes</H3>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<br><br>
<table align="center" border=0 summary="Status report info">
<tr><td align="center"><font COLOR="#87a9e5" SIZE="-1">Status message received from 10.59.255.137<br>
<a href="/xymon-cgi/historylog.sh?CLIENT=LAB05&TIMEBUF=1340630449 <view-source:http://127.0.0.1/xymon-cgi/historylog.sh?CLIENT=LAB05&TIMEBUF=1340630449>">Client data</a> available<br>
</font></td></tr>

Last week I was playing around with some server configurations,
honestly, I don't remember every file I touched.
Nothing seemed to be broken at the time. Today, however, I noticed
that while all current status are fine, if I click on event history
and click on a change of condition alert, the alert status is missing
and end of line character and the following text "status unchanged in"
is crammed into the alert string. If I go back through the history of
alerts, this isn't happening prior to me being in there and changing
things, it started showing up after words. And just to state again,
my regular real-time status pages are fine, it is only when I go into
event history that I can see the problem
I don't know if my text formatting will transfer to the mailing list,
but the alert looks like below. (first line is large font and white.
Second line is small font and blue)
Alert receivedSatus unchanged in 1 day
Status message received from 127.0.0.1
