I notice that version 1.5 of the test_slony_state-dbi.pl script fixed a
problem where the diagnosis messages would not show which node the
long-running transactions were running. But the 'add_problem()' function
call of that code still has the first parameter as $origin, which I think is
a copy-paste error from previous blocks of 'while' loops. This causes the
emails sent out to be confusing as to which node the problem is being
reported for!

Here's a patch that fixes it. It also fixes another annoying this I have to
edit out every time I download this script to make it excutable; it removes
the # -*- perl -*- comment from the first line.
