[Nut-upsuser] false alerts/shutdown

[Arnaud Quette]

Hi Stijn,

all apologies for being so late to answer. As told to other, the
APC|MGE merger, and now with Powerware entering the deal to buy MGE
small units, makes me more busy than even...

Back to your problem, I've identified and hunted the bug, thanks to
Marc Rechté who provided the necessary information.

I've just commited the fix into the Testing and trunk branches:
http://boxster.ghz.cc/projects/nut/timeline ChangeSet 1000 (not yet
available at the time of writing)

This will be available in the next 2.2.0-pre and so in the final 2.2.0 version.

If you are also interested in validating the fix, we can check for a
delivery method (source tree, patch, package, ...)
