Think I've got that one nailed down now. There was a completely bogus
free() in merge-sects, amazing it hasn't show up in a lot more places.

I cannot reproduce this. The only reason I can think of is if you have
the BBLOCATION setting active, then it would ignore this host because
there is no NET:xxx on that entry. In that case, either add the NET:xxx
tag, or run "bbhostgrep --test-untagged snmp"

But doesn't the other syntax work ? It ought to, since that is a pretty
universal vmstat command.

:-) That "sleep 5" really is intended to just sleep for 5 seconds. It's
a safeguard to make sure the previous "vmstat 300" command really has 
completed.
