[Xymon] Too much data for svcstatus.sh?

Good morning.

Running Xymon 4.3.30, compiled from source tarball, on a RHEL 6.10 
server.

This morning, I encountered an interesting issue.

I have a monitored system that has 197 discrete filesystems/mounts.

When I attempt to enter this server's "Trends" section, I receive an 
internal server error (500).

My httpd error log shows this when I attempt to access the trends link 
for the server in question:

This does not happen for any other monitored system in my environment.

This system is one of the more critical servers in my environment, so 
I'd like to figure out what's going on and remediate it if possible.
