Buggy Management Agents Installer

There's a bug in the install procedure of hpmgmt-8.x.x-vmware4x.tgz . Il the VM Note contains more than a single line (a single CR at the end of the first line for example)
the vmsvc/getallvms display an empty line.

[root@esx-prod-ostia 851]# vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms
Vmid Name File Guest OS Version Annotation
32 DC-OSTIA01 [ARRAY1_R1_L1] DC-OSTIA01/DC-OSTIA01.vmx winNetStandardGuest vmx-04 Domain Controller Active Directory 2003 R2 (Global Catalog)
48 FRASCATI [ARRAY1_R1_L1] FRASCATI/FRASCATI.vmx winNetEnterpriseGuest vmx-04 FILE SERVER
64 MARINO [ARRAY1_R1_L1] MARINO/MARINO.vmx winNetStandardGuest vmx-04 Print Server Ostia
80 SFURSAT [ARRAY2_R5_L0] SFURSAT/SFURSAT.vmx winNetStandardGuest vmx-04 SQL Server Express 2005

[root@esx-prod-ostia 851]#

The ./install851vibs.sh not run. If I activate "debug" code in the script I see:
[root@esx-prod-ostia 851]# ./install851vibs.sh --silent --inputfile hpmgmt.conf.example

perfectly. Please take care of this problem.
