parsing bug in hobbit-clients.cfg

[Elmar Heeb]

Hi

Suppose you have the following entry in hobbit-clients.cfg:

HOST=blog.example.com,example.com
	PROC apache

then the PROC test will be ignored for example.com.  If the two hosts 
are reversed, i.e.

HOST=example.com,blog.example.com
	PROC apache

then the PROC test will be done for both hosts.  I tried with a few 
variations on this and it appears that any later string in the comma 
separated list will be ignored if it is a substring of a string that 
appeared earlier.  The same goes for EXHOSTS and probably most other 
selectors.

This bug is present in at least versions 4.3.0 beta2 (from Debian 
lenny-backports) and 4.2.0 (from Debian lenny).
