[Xymon] httpstatus inconsistency

A rather odd thing I see in your example - you have two http tests for
the same host. If you want  to have both I would think you'd need to
rename one of them by doing a separate portocols.cfg entry or putting it
under a differnet hostname.

It seems to me that you probably have some syntax error in your
hosts.cfg file to cause the different results. 

cheers, Phil
