Yes, I forgot to mention that in the previous e-mail. However, this is 
*not* true for one server, the xymon server itself! All other clients still 
do send data, including a [inode] section. None of the modules in 
~xymon/client/bin is changed yesterday, but the configuration files in 
~xymon/client/etc have been changed. (As it took two runs to get the 
showgraph-patch working, the *.cfg.bak files are identical to *.cfg files.)

No, there are no messages about dropped status messages in xymond.log. The 
history of xymond status contains only messages about unrelated problems.

Yes, those tests are working fine.
