I turned that off but no luck.  What's interesting is this dependency
works fine:

define servicedependency{
        hostgroup_name                          webmonitor
        service_description                     port 80
        dependent_hostgroup_name                webmonitor
        dependent_service_description           http.*
        inherits_parent                         0
        execution_failure_criteria              w,u,c
        notification_failure_criteria           w,u,c
        }

Is it the large number of dependencies at play here that's the problem?
