Yes, the token matching code looks for tabs or spaces as separators, or for
double-quotes as book-end terminators for the tokens.  It doesn't know
about escaped double-quotes, and so you cannot use them in your regular
expressions.  Instead you can could match with a dot, or an equivalent to a
quote, such as:

LOG /xymon/server/etc/test.log "%Thread \x22WebContainer.{1,75} and may be
hung*" COLOR=yellow

The "\x22" adds the ASCII character for hex 22, which is the double quote.
