Q: nagios-2.9 - old bug with host_name processing?

[Dmitry Lebkov]

I've noticed a possible old bug with host_name procesing.
This bug look like one, described in

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=2b36e660511160810h2e006991gda3c8a1751e45d27%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=nagios-devel

Solution with capitalising one of name worked as quick fix.
