Bug in escalation template handling

[Darren White]

I sent this on this list a couple of weeks ago, but nobody responded. 
How/Where should bug reports be submitted, and is this a known 
issue/already corrected?

> When defining a serviceescalation, you can use a host_name or a 
> hostgroup_name to specify which host(s) the escalation applies to.  If you
> define a template (register 0) and then "use" it in a serviceescalation,
> it works with either a host_name or a hostgroup_name in the template
> definition.

> When defining a hostescalation, you can use a host_name or a

> you use a template, if you specify host_name in the template, 
> everything works.  If you use hostgroup_name, nagios complains

> Confirmed with Nagios 1.0 and 1.2.
