[Xymon] ran Trimhistory and it broke something

[Kris Springer]

I'm still getting xymond_history crash notifications exactly every 4 
hours.  I've looked in /var/log/xymon/ but there's doesn't seem to be 
any logs that give a clue as to what's happening.

Here's the notification I'm getting exactly every 4 hours.
-------------------------------
*xymond_history purple [672384] *

*red - Program crashed Fatal signal caught!*
