The active check "Check event state in Event Console" (check_mkevents) split
host lists at spaces, too, so the alias "DB server 1" also matched the hosts
"db", "server" and "1". Each host of a list is matched as a whole now. On the
command line, the new option -q lets a backslash quote a slash or backslash.
This is incompatible if a service relied on single words of an alias, e.g. on
srv01 of the alias srv01 Database. Translate such host names with the global
setting "Host name translation for incoming messages" of the Event Console, or
add them to the host specification, e.g. $HOSTNAME$/srv01.
