significant bug in 3.2.2 - nagios.cfg -- execute_service_checks=0 completely ignored

[Mark Christian]

I updated nagios from 3.2.0 to 3.2.2 - my distributed "collector" node went from  ~7000 services passively checked and near zero actively checked to ~1800 actively checked and counting.

There are 4 distributed nodes that handle active service checks.

The "collector" node has been configured to not execute service checks:

$ grep execute_service_checks nagios.cfg
execute_service_checks=0

dnsmichi and keith4 on IRC #nagios graciously pointed out that I need merely remove line 1088 from nagios 3.2.2 source base/events.c and recompile.  I removed "run_event=TRUE;" on line 1088 of base/events.c, recompiled and now nagios correctly recognizes "execute_service_checks=0".

I believe this to be a significant bug.
