sorry it's taken some time to get back to you about this.

Could you look at the client/tmp/msg.permian.utsc.utoronto.ca.txt file
over on the client and see what it has in the first line ? I am curious why
these hosts don't report a valid system identifier.

To avoid the crash, you can grab the latest lib/misc.c file from
http://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xymon/trunk/lib/misc.c?view=log
(the 6661 revision) and drop it into your Xymon 4.3.0 sourcetree. That
should stop it crashing.


Regards,
Henrik
