[Xymon] Summary for remotes in 4.3.19 not working

[john.r.rothlisberger at accenture.com]

To be perfectly honest, I just upgraded to 4.3.18 on March 27th from 4.3.13 on the server side, and cannot be positive that it was working in 4.3.18.  I certainly didn't notice that it wasn't working.

I can say that it was working in 4.3.13.

There is no hosts.cfg entry on the server side.

Thanks,
John
