Hello all,

On nagios-users, someone reported that a custom variable did not work =
when used as a macro (substitution did not occur). See the thread at

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.n ... us=3D65324

Short story - The documentation states that custom macro names are case =
insensitive when in fact, they are case-sensitive in that they are =
converted to all upper case and must be referenced as such when used. =
This is implied by the examples but unclear due to the previous case =
insensitive statement. The one line change attached updates that to =
indicate conversion to uppercase.

p.s. Is anyone actually using the tracker (besides Ton?) I'd submit it =
there but one I added in July hasn't been touched.
