Inexplicable service escalation behaviour

[Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de]

Many thanks Holger,
for reminding me of the NAGIOS_ prefix.
I must have overread the stanza you cited from the docs
(but rediscovered it now).
However, semi-consciuosly it must have been in my head because I
remembered
having read something about environment vars somewhere.
