God only knows what Lotus Notes gets up to with it's formatting :-)

"od -cx hobbit-alerts.cfg | grep -i 0xA0" doesn't turn up anything.

I ran through the following procedure...

  gmake distclean
  gpatch -p0 < cfg-hiascii.patch
  gmake
  ~/server/hobbit.sh stop
  gmake install
  ~/server/hobbit.sh start

However  "~/server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test zp1sv1 disk" still shows
the same erroneous recipients and there are no complaints in page.log.
