Strange thing I've noticed with Hobbit 4.2.0's processing of the
"TEXT=" tag for the PROC
test...  If I have TEXT=somestring, it shows up fine.  But if I have
TEXT=some other string, it shows up as just "some".  However, if I do
TEXT="some other string", it shows up as "some other string.  (note
the opening ", but no closing ").  Is this perhaps a bug, or am I
misinterpreting the doco?

interestingly I found in PORT command, one example uses "TEXT=some other
string" instead of TEXT="some other string". do you want to try that out
really quick? I didn't see how the TEXT= should be used for PROC itself
inside the hobbit-clients.cfg man page.

Start the double quote before the TEXT=:

"TEXT=some other string"

That worked.  Thanks.
