hobbit is *definitely* misbehaving.

If my log line: in the following test does not have the exact word
`WARNING' *only* then I get green for the with this ignore pattern
%fcsm.*. It should be always green if `fcsm' shows up in log line

Here are the relevant lines in hobbit-client.cfg file
[....]
HOST=server
LOG /var/adm/messages "%(?-i)WARNING|(?-i)ERROR" COLOR=red IGNORE=%fcsm.*
[...]

Here are the two tests. First one failing (because of the WARNING) and
second one passes
(both of them should pass according to hobbit-client.cfg man page)

(hobbit)@hobbit:~/server$ ./bin/hobbitd_client --test

How do I submit this bug? I tested it with hobbit-4.3 trunk's
hobbitd_client and showing same behavior.
