I noticed that when you build services upon services (like bbcombotest.cfg(5) suggests you may), the parent services don't properly show the children's color in the status data part, i.e. instead of showing "&green" or "&red", they always show up as "&unknown". The patch below fixes this for me here. Also, allow unescaped underscores, they are not used in operators.
