Recovery not getting sent during downtime?

[srunschke at abit.de]

Hi folks,

I'm currently using Nagios 2.0b3 (never change a running system ;)) and 
ran
into the following problem:

Service went critical
SMS and emails got dispatched
found problem, decided to reboot the machine to fix it
scheduled downtime for host
rebooted host
everything went ok again
no SMS/email got dispatched to state the service recovered though!

I'm unsure if this problem was already fixed, I didn't find any real
evidence in google or the changelogs. Though fixes in the
recovery logics and notifcation system itself were documented,
they weren't too detailed though.

Question: is this a bug or feature? If it is a bug, has it been fixed in
a newer release which I can update to?

It poses a problem to us as admins that are currently offsite don't get
messages that the problem is ok already. So we get quite some unnecessary
phonecalls to check for a problem that is already solved.

Here's an excerpt how it looked like in the nagios log:
