I didn't imply that you should remove that newline.  I think it is
better to keep it in.  I was just wondering why the output did have
a newline but your code did not show this.

In this case I have only one suggestion left, if that doesn't work
then someone else will have to step in:

What version of mrtg are you using, maybe you should upgrade or, if
you use the latest version, try one version below.

good luck with your problem.
