BBWin: cluster.exe external

[s_aiello at comcast.net]

All,

I am still in the process of upgrading from bbgen to Hobbit. After the server 
upgrade I plan on upgrading all the clients to hobbit and bbwin clients. 
Since I close to the end of this upgrade project I see no need to install the 
old bbclients on windows servers, so I have been performing bbwin installs.

Today I had the opportunity to use the cluster.exe external module. The module 
works great when reporting to a Hobbit Server. A problem occurs when it is 
reporting to a BB/BBGEN server. It seems when the report is sent in BB/BBGEN 
see the first line as " green" not "green".

Looking at the bbwin/tmp/cluster file before it is sent to the server in 
notepad and wordpad, the first line is "green". But looking at the 
bbvar/logs/server.cluster file it is " green". So somewhere in the 
communication of  BBWin client --> bbproxy --> BBGen something weird is going 
on. Since " green" is an unknown color status, BBGen has issue displaying the 
status icon & background color of the cluster report.

I believe the problem is limited to the cluster.exe module and not in the 
bbwin client since I have written a vbs external script, and it reports fine 
into BBGen.

I do not see this as a high priority bug, especially since I am moving to 
hobbit soon. Figured it just needed to be reported on.
