I have a message that I send to Xymon to display and graph the size of Oracle= Tablespaces. The message contains a combination of HTML table formatted data (to display n= icely) and hidden data (for RRD to use). Since upgrading to 4.3.5 I have been getting extra empty graph place holders. For example I have 6 tablespaces to graph but it shows 67. The first 6 are ok= ay, but the rest are invalid. What I have found is that svcstatus.cgi (I think) is counting the number of i= tems between

and

and using that to generate the number of graphs= . This didn't happen in 4.2.3 See the following extract from a "View source" of my web page.

I use this trick in a couple of other places as well..
