This also works:
HOST=* $H SERVICE=conn
So it appears that the parser specifically doesn't like macros referenced at the beginning of a line if they aren't the only thing on the line?

Given two different, but trivial alerts.cfg files:
--- file 1 --- $H=HOST=a,b
SERVICE=conn $H
--- file 2 --- $H=HOST=a,b
$H SERVICE=conn
The first file will match hosts a and b but not c; the second file will match nothing. Take "SERVICE=conn" out of file 2, it then properly matches a and b but not c.
What gives?
