[Xymon] Missing custom trends graph

[Jeremy Laidman]

Hmm.  It's working for me now, after I adjusted the TRENDS setting and
moved the "bind" part earlier in the TRENDS definition.  So I now have:

10.1.1.1 dns1 # testip noping TRENDS:*,bind:bind|bind-extended,bindstats:
bindstats|bindstats1

The "bindstats" graph still works as before, so it's all good.  I just
don't know why.
