[Xymon] Services false positive

It doesn't look like the testip tag worked, these are windows hosts with the bbwin 0.13 agent on them.

Hey Everyone, I think I found a bug in xymon, I am monitoring a few hundred servers and I found that servers with similar names but different purposes are trying to report the same services.  For instance, XXXXXXXXXXX486 and XXXXXXXXXXX487 is duplicating the service checks for  XXXXXXXXXXX48.  Is there any way that anyone knows of to get xymon to look at the entire machine name instead of just the first 12 characters of it?

Are the servers in question Solaris zones on the same global zone? If so, many of the checks will be duplicated. This may also happen with other virtual environments, but I've only seen it for Solaris zones. In particular our ESX environment does not have this problem.
