The server xymon.ns.ryerson.ca is sending "client" data with 585.509 
bytes in the message, and Xymon has a default limit of 524.288 bytes 
(512 KB). So the client message gets truncated.

This client data results in a "procs" status message that is 328.505 
bytes (so a very large "ps" listing), and Xymon has a default 
status-size limit of 262.144 bytes (256 KB).

Either increase the max. size of these messages on the Xymon server via 
the MAXMSG_CLIENT and MAXMSG_STATUS settings (see xymonserver.cfg(5) 
man-page), or fiddle with the Xymon client-script on the server to 
filter out (parts of) the ps-listing.
