[Xymon] minor bug report

[Larry Barber]

Since this report is parsed on the server (we're using "centralized"
configuration), I don't think the client version makes a difference. The
server is 4.3.3. I'm not sure what the client is, I didn't install it and
there is not an obvious way of determining what version it is. That it
dates from the "Hobbit" days is all I can tell by looking at it.

I could use the perl scriptlet, but I'm monitoring a couple hundred of
these boxes, I would rather fix it in once in a centralized location. Also,
shouldn't this scriptlet go in the "top" section?

Thanks,
Larry Barber
