[Xymon] alerts.cfg regex ignoring $ (dollar)

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm if this issue, alerts.cfg regex ignoring $ (dollar), from 2006 is fixed in the latest 4.3 code? I can confirm that it is not fixed in 4.3.7, but the best work-around is to add an exclude. (Although that does not help if you wanted to put the $ in your exclude. FYI, ^ works fine in regex.)

Example: HOST=%MyHost$ SERVICE=conn

Testing as xymon user with: ~/server/bin/xymoncmd xymond_alert --test MyHost conn --color=red --duration=700 | egrep "(Match with|Mail alert)" with MyHost1, MyHost2, etc. firing.
