I wrote the little hack in the code:
/base/check.c, line 1115:

/* Ugly hack for service in a UNKNOWN state for UNREACHABLE host */
if(temp_host->current_state==HOST_UNREACHABLE){
    temp_service->current_state = STATE_UNKNOWN;
    temp_service->state_type = HARD_STATE;
}


That's all :)

If the service check is done before the host is declared down, it raises a critical error. I'll add a loop for checking the parents, like in the host check.
Then testing for usage and see how modify the interface ;)
