Variable expansion fix.
Fixed log position problem on probe_tail_logfile_session.
Added functionality to enable NIS cache maintenance.
Added 'interfaces' option to the 'get_info' callback to include a list of known
network interfaces.
proxy mode fix: if used with first probe port, the internal controller port gets
assigned the first probe port. Note that it is not normally recommended to use
these options together as all communication should go throught the proxy port.
Spooler storm protection improvement: saves subject, probe, severity and
suppression key of last message discarded message in a message storm.
Added spooler option to set alarm level for queueing problem alarms.
Spooler error situation on Linux due to ip misconfiguration handled.
Added support for using proxy mode in passive robots. This requires hub version
5.53 or newer.
Changed potentially misleading alarm texts for spooling problem situations.
Made default fail window configurable and changed default from 10 to 15
seconds.
Fix for distribution requests over tunnel.
More detailed error logging in spooler.
Bulk transfer problem in spooler with not emptying buffer on multiple bulks

Fix return code when testing if there is data on the ssl socket if that socket does
not exist.
Fix problem with client false certificate expiration alarms on the server side
(should only be checked on the client side).
Fix for connecting to spooler on passive robot when proxy mode is set.
Fix for tunnel server binding to localhost instead of all interfaces.
Fixed segfault issue in connection with tunnels hanging which would trigger a
HUB restart.
Fixed segfault issues by shutdown of HUB occurring on some Linux systems.
Fixed problem with expired SID on the way through a tunnel not getting that
status code back to the probe so it can renew the SID.
Improved SSL shutdown in tunnel sessions.
Added extra locking to internal security information to avoid crashes due to
thread issues.
