The HTTP server is running IBM HTTP Server (basically apache modded slightly) so I guess there may be something unexpected in the return, though at the time of this status the server was off so should not have produced anything special.

Hi Everyone,
Just thought we'd flag this - on some tests when the status is red the XML being returned has an invalid character.
I've tried (unsuccessfully) checking for release notes to see if this has been addressed previously but couldn't find anything (apologies in advance if it has been fixed previously).
See the XML below - the issue is on the CDATA line just after the € symbol
<ServerStatus> <ServerName>[hostname]</ServerName> <Type>http</Type> <Status>red</Status> <TestFlags></TestFlags> <LastChange>Fri Feb 13 17:08:14 2015</LastChange> <LogTime>Fri Feb 13 17:11:14 2015</LogTime> <ValidTime>Fri Feb 13 17:41:14 2015</ValidTime> <AckTime>N/A</AckTime> <DisableTime>N/A</DisableTime> <Sender>10.1.1.200</Sender> <Cookie>148280</Cookie> <MessageSummary> <![CDATA[status+30 [hostname].http red Fri Feb 13 17:11:14 2015: €]]> </MessageSummary> </ServerStatus>
We are currently running 4.3.18. If you need any more information please let us know.

Interesting.
Can you tell us if the errant XML occurs on all xymondx queries coming back, or just 'http' results? And all http results, or just this particular one?
The text where the corruption is should be the post-HTTP Status response code text, if a connection was possible, or a string with certain types of connection issues (eg, 'No route to host'), if not. It's possible something is getting through corrupted. Is it a standard http server on the other end?
Also, can you pipe this through "cat -A"?
Regards,
-jc
