Has anyone noticed what appears to be corruption in BBALPHAMSG?  I have only noticed this behavior (so far) on disk checks and it always follows the backslash between the Total Space and Available Space.  It also seems to be consistent from host to host (ex.  The host below will have the same corruption for each disk check other hosts may show slightly different characters but not all hosts exhibit errors).

Within my email script all I am doing is 'echo "$BBALPHAMSG" >tmpfile'.

Xymon Server: Ubuntu 10.04
Client (in this instance): W2k3 Server

The actual client data appears to be just as expected with no odd characters (this is pulled from the "Client data" link on the Xymon page):

But then when I use BBALPHAMSG within an email script there can be odd corruption:

yellow Wed Jul 27 09:24:50 2011 - Filesystems NOT ok
&yellow G (97% used) has reached the WARNING level (97%)
&yellow H (97% used) has reached the WARNING level (97%)
