DEL_ALL_SVC_COMMENTS not always working?

[Jörg Berning]

First,
I have to correct myself,
"Trying to reproduce the problem under Nagios 1.3(AIX 5.2) did not work, Nagios 
worked perfectly"
in my first posting in this thread is wrong, I tried to to reproduce it under 
Nagios 1.2(AIX 5.2), which did work. So Nagios 1.3 did not get tested with this 
problem.

But I think I'm getting closer to the problem.
This night five service checks(under the same host-entry) got processed like 
this:
The comments got entered in the following sequence(via ADD_SVC_COMMENT):
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
Until now everything is working fine.

Now the service-checks ended in the following sequence and should have been 
removed via DEL_ALL_SVC_COMMENTS:
#2
#5
#4
#1
#3

But only the comments for service-checks
#2
#5
got removed(in this sequence).

The comments for
#4
#1
#3
are still in var/comments.dat and are not deletable, neither via 
DEL_ALL_SVC_COMMENTS nor the webinterface("Delete all comments").
Deleting them via the trashcan-icon(with the comment-id) works.

It looks like some kind of end-of-comment-list-pointer is moved in the list of 
comments:
Comment #2 gets deleted, the pointer in the list of comments gets moved to 
entry #2
Comment #5 gets deleted, the pointer in the list of comments gets moved to 
entry #5, which is the last in the list
Now comment #4 should get deleted, but does not, because the end-of-comment-
list-pointer is further down the list, so the comment can't get deleted.
Same with comment #1 and #3, both are above the end-of-comment-list-pointer.

If somebody could please confirm this behavior(following my previous posting) 
or the opposite...
After a confirmation I would post it to the developement list.
Thank you for your time,
Jörg Berning
