Apart from John.Thurston at alaska.gov who could not repeat my problem with 
integer arithmetic in combostatus, I never saw any feedback about the 
attached patch which fixes our problem on Linux builds.

As a reminder, this rule in combo.cfg :-

angelica.shadymint.com.combo=(angelica.shadymint.com.http + 
angelica.shadymint.com.bbd + angelica.shadymint.com.procs)>=3

is calculated incorrectly on Linux, but strangely is OK on Solaris.

The error message we get on Linux is :-

2015-10-13 00:39:07.263726 Item '3' has no testname part
2015-10-13 00:39:07.263762 Item '3' has no testname part
2015-10-13 00:39:07.263769 Invalid data for symbol calculation - missing 
host/testname: 3
6736 2015-10-13 00:39:07.263777 Symbolic 
'(angelica.shadymint.com.http+angelica.shadymint.com.bbd+angelica.shadymint.com.procs)>=3' 
converted to '(1+1+1)>=0'

You will not know from the web page that this has failed because 
'(1+1+1)>=0' is still true, but its not the answer we need to find.

Thanks
