Numbers lost in status report

["Hubbard, Greg L" <greg.hubbard (at) eds.com>]

Hobbit folk:

Here is something interesting.  I wrote a custom test today that sends
over data in pretty much the same format as used in the other custom
tests that I have written lately.  Problem is that my numbers are
getting lost!  I even added trailing text and it arrives, but the
numbers do not.

According to my debug information, the numbers are being written in the
status message that goes out the door, but when posted by the server on
the status page they are gone.

Any ideas on how to start to debug this?
