Hi Henrik.  Thanks for the quick patch butI am not sure that his completely
fixed the issue.  For example, it appears that the first line now looks OK:

I run a printenv > /tmp/SMS>log in my alert script, and BBALPHAMSG looks like:

BBALPHAMSG=host.example.com:cpu yellow [800718]
&yellow Load is HIG


^^^^^--- Is that 2nd line to supposed to be there or is this an IFS issue on
my end?  Either way, it appears just like that with the second line starting
with the & and it also appears to be truncated at the 2nd "H" in HIGH


What is the format of the BBALPHAMSG supposed to look like (eg: the format and
list of fields) when FORMAT=SMS so I know what I am looking for as we move
forward?

Thanks!
