Not that it fails to reschedule it. Just that failing service checks always
force a hostcheck to occur. That's by design. The change was, afair, to
make sure Nagios doesn't reschedule the hostcheck when a forced hostcheck
happens, and also to not increment the check attempt variable.

I could be entirely wrong though.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
