[Xymon] leaking memory, alerts.cfg problems

Fantastic, that gets me further.  So it appears to be breaking on my
Perl-compatible percent-asterisk (%*) in the alert.cfg.  Apparently my
wildcard is invalid.

I change the line from *HOST=%** to *HOST=** and alerts are working great.

Should I use *HOST=**, is this the recommended method?  I would assume the
alert.cfg to have a basic example for "all hosts" but the best I could find
was the Perl example.
