Hobbit 4.2.0 w/ all-in-one 2007-02-09

Can you use a macro in the hobbit-alerts.cfg and use the SERVICE rule in 
addition? Not able to do so at this end...

hobbit-alerts.cfg
-----------------
$patrickemail=MAIL ple at host.com RECOVERED
$chrisemail=MAIL ccolon at host.com RECOVERED
$ediemail=MAIL edi at host.com REPEAT=1440m RECOVERED

HOST=pd-gis
     $patrickemail
     $chrisemail SERVICE=http
     $ediemail SERVICE=status



Running "hobbitd_alert --dump-config" seems to just stop after the first 
macro replacement:

-bash-2.05b$ ./server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --dump-config
2007-10-15 14:20:07 Using default environment file 
/usr/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
HOST=pd-gis
         MAIL ple at host.com FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 RECOVERED

-bash-2.05b$


If I change/remove the "SERVICE=http" from the line w/ the $chrisemail 
macro (for instance make it "DURATION>30"), then it *will* parse that 
line, but stop at the next one with the "SERVICE" rule:

-  $chrisemail SERVICE=http
+  $chrisemail DURATION>30


-bash-2.05b$ ./server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --dump-config
2007-10-15 14:26:27 Using default environment file 
/usr/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
HOST=pd-gis
         MAIL ple at host.com FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 RECOVERED
         MAIL ccolon at host.com FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=30 DURATION>30 RECOVERED

-bash-2.05b$



Am I getting this wrong somewhere? Thanks in advance.
