[Xymon] DISPLAYGROUP fails in analysis.cfg

I have a xymon server running "Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)" with xymon 
4.3.28-2. I'm having bad luck getting DISPLAYGROUP to work in 
analysis.cfg.  It seems to only match on the first 7 characters.

I also see this problem on "Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)" with xymon 4.3.17-6+deb8u1.

Below, I've shown that the display group is set, and that the analysis.cfg 
file is being parsed correctly by xymon, yet the the svcstatus page only 
shows the shortest of the DISPLAYGROUP enabled lines.
