[Xymon] Xymon 4.2.3 / Trouble with alternate pagesets

Sadly, this had no impact either. I did find it was correctly reading
the file by accidentally messing up the substitution for one of the
locsubpages, with errors appearing in the bbgen-loc.log. Now it's back
to silently generating empty pages. Very odd. But no one has confirmed
this working in 4.2.3 that I have seen however.
