Hi,

My comments are inline.

Don't worry, like you said it highlights the differences in the code! =20
I'm guessing that whitespace separators were previously allowed but =20
has now changed?

Good point.

From my amateur experience with C, I know the "," will split the =20
string "contactgroup1, contactgroup2" into "contactgroup1" and " =20
contactgroup2" (note the space.)

Whether Nagios would then realise that " contactgroup2" and =20
"contactgroup2" should be the same thing, I'm not sure.
