Hi again Mathieu,
I've applied the patch successfully (I actually just went through the
xodtemplate.c file and removed the spaces manually, as below. The lines
you sent for the host escalation were actually for the host itself! The
host escalation's contacts also had a space in the strtok() functions,
which explains why a host escalation wouldn't register "Andy Shellam" as
a contact name, but would recognise "NetServe Support" as a contact group.
After applying these changes and rebuilding Nagios, nagios -v ... would
recognise the service escalations just fine, and they show up in the
CGIs as well.

Service escalation - line 10251 :-

Host escalation - line 10605 (not only contacts, not contact_groups is
affected for host escalations):

");contact_name!=NULL;contact_name=strtok(NULL,", ")){
to:
for(contact_name=strtok(this_hostescalation->contacts,",");contact_name!=NULL;contact_name=strtok(NULL,",")){
