check_period, timeperiod exclusions, wrong next check time ?

Hi - we've just encountered some unexpected behaviour where the next
check time for a service gets set to 00:00 tomorrow when we enter a
a timeperiod exclusion. It seems like it might be a bug in check_period
timeperiod handling, but I have no idea where to start looking in the code.
I have a service defined with "check_period not_fridayaft", and the timeperiods
defined like this:
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name not_fridayaft
alias not friday aft
use 24x7
exclude fridayaft
}
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name fridayaft
alias friday aft
friday 12:45-12:55
}
At 12:45 Friday, the service state information page starts showing:
Next Scheduled Check: 10-13-2012 00:00:00
and the service is not checked until Saturday rolls around.
But, if I redefine the timeperiod to be explicit, and not use exclude, like this:
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name not_fridayaft
alias not friday aft
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-24:00
thursday 00:00-24:00
friday 00:00-12:45,12:55-24:00
saturday 00:00-24:00
}
restart Nagios, and the service's next check time shows up correctly:
Next Scheduled Check: 10-12-2012 12:55:00
This is 3.4.1, which I built based on nagios-3.4.1-2.el6.src.rpm using a
nagios.spec build file with the last modification:
* Thu Jun 28 2012 Petr Pisar <ppisar at redhat.com> - 3.4.1-2
The nagios.spec adds a few patches, but I don't see anything that makes me
think it would trigger this.
Has anyone else seem anything like this? I've got a workaround (by avoiding
the exclude), but it makes me wonder if there's a bug in the timeperiod
exclusion handling code.
Thanks - cheers!
