[Xymon] xymondboard - can I get an exact match? (and writing xymon ACK script and opening tickets)

Regular expressions work:

~/server/bin/xymon localhost 'xymondboard test=^disk$ host=foo.example.comfields=cookie'

Yeah, I would have thought so too, but this doesn't actually work (for me). When I use "test=ntp$" I get a match on both "ntp" and "ntpsync" tests. I'm guessing that the "test" keyword uses the pcre library with an option like PCRE_NOTEOL - because it does work (excludes "ntpsync") if I use "test=ntp\z" - but I can't find where in the code this is set. The same happens when I use a "host=" regular expression.
