[Xymon] False disk alerts.

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi Jeremy, we're running 4.3.4 but it's funny you should mention that bug
as I have found some log messages this morning that say,

 BUG: splitmsg_done() was not called on previous message - data corruption
possible.

These occur at the times that we get the false alerts.

Regards,
Neil.
