Just FYI, adding "--tooltips=never" to BBGENOPTS doesn't correct the 
issue either.  I think that a code change would be necessary to have 
that option affect the DESCR tags in the same way that it is supposed to 
work on COMMENT tags.

When running bbgen without any --tooltip option at all, tooltips are 
showing the contents of the DESCR tag when I mouse over a hostname with 
a DESCR tag on any page.  Not all of my hosts have DESCR tags or COMMENT 
tags, but in the cases where both are present, the contents of the 
COMMENT tag are what is displayed.
