[Xymon] problem with xymond_client test

[Glenn Attwood]

No worries about any delay, you help is appreciated and I'm sure you're 
busy with many other things as well.

First line is:

client permian,utsc,utoronto,ca.

I'll apply the fix from svn and see if that stops the problem.  I was 
also going to upgrade to xymon-client 4.3.0 to see if that fixes things 
as well.  My guess is that some combination of sed/grep/awk is not 
working and the system identifier is not being correctly parsed.
