This also works:
HOST=* $H SERVICE=conn
So it appears that the parser specifically doesn't like macros referenced
at the beginning of a line if they aren't the only thing on the line?

Given two different, but trivial alerts.cfg files:

$H=HOST=a,b
SERVICE=conn $H
--- file 2 ---
$H=HOST=a,b

The first file will match hosts a and b but not c; the second file will
match nothing. Take "SERVICE=conn" out of file 2, it then properly matches
a and b but not c.
What gives?
