recurring CRITICAL alerts

[Daniel]

I am running nagios 1.2 and have a passive check that is sent results every 5 minutes from a monitored server. The check is also configured to only send out notifications between 04:00 and 22:30 as the service being monitored is not actually running outside those hours.

As expected, the service goes into a CRITICAL state during the non-notification period and then resumes an OK state when the service is running again. But then there is a strange situation where it toggles between the previous CRITICAL state 
and an OK state. Here is an example of what I mean (reading from bottom up). Notice how the CRITICAL alert saying "last updated 2006/09/06 22:21:09" keeps recurring, even though there has been a valid (OK) in between :

Not sure if this has anything to do with supressing notifications...if something in the nagios logic isn't getting cleared down? Has anyone any ideas what may be causing this?
