I think you mean this change:

http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/modules/dm_templates.pm?r1=208&r2=219

and the associated portion in dm_tests.pm:

http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/modules/dm_tests.pm?r1=192&r2=195&view=patch

Which was replacement of '|x' with '|\sx\s'

This change was specifically to fix a bug affecting the use of the letter x in 
OID names used in MATH operators (where e.g. {index} would not work as the x 
would be recognised as a mathematical operator).

The next change to that file allowed the use of '*' as a multiplication 
operator as well.

I don't see why this should be causing a problem.

I have a few production servers running r214 without problem (which, granted, 
doesn't have the dm_templates.pm part), and my laptop has a clean checkout of 
trunk monitoring at least itself with linux-netsnmp template, with working 
if_load graphs.

I really can't see how this could have broken ...

Does reverting to the '|x' version in dm_templates.pm make any difference?
