Nagios-1.1 config file parsing bug

[Florian.Kirchmeir at infineon.com]

Well, thanks. ;-)

Unfortunately, the configuration file is auto-generated from a database; the
object-names used are not under my control.
Names with blanks have been no problem with the old, "default" configuration
system, so I consider this new restriction a bug.
Also, blanks don't show up in the list of restricted characters in
nagios.cfg...

Anyone that can come up with a fix?

Regards,
Florian Kirchmeir

Do not use spaces for object names and your problem will vanish :)
