service checks randomly disappear

guys

I have a really weird problem. I've been running nagios 2.0b3 for 
months without hickups (except that it never remembers
host acknowledgements/disabled host notifications after a restart..and 
yes I have that set in nagios.cfg!)

But here is the big problem :
I added 2 services for 2 databases and for some reason nagios has 
trouble being consistent with those 2 services.
After I first added them the webinterface didn't show them.I had to 
refresh the page a few times then it showed up - only to disappear 
again a second later. It keeps doing that. One moment it have 15 
services and after a page refresh it shows 17 services.
Sometimes it shows 16 then 17 or 15 again. This is really driving me 
nuts.
I upgraded to 2.04b today but no luck. the funny thing is that this 
ONLY happens to those 2 services but I cannot see how they
are different. I'm also checking these 2 services on another box - no 
problem at all. Then again, all other services on those2 boxes run fine 
too.
I tried defining them seperately by box as well as in a hostgroup - no 
difference.
Here are the 2 services:

define service{
               use                      generic-service
               hostgroup_name           sdatabases
                service_description      CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS IN WAIT 
QUEUE
                check_command            
check_oracle_queue!--service-waits!bspstg!nagios!nagios!20!30
               max_check_attempts       5
               normal_check_interval    5
               contact_groups           admins,managers
              }

define service{
               use                      generic-service
               hostgroup_name           sdatabases
               service_description      CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS
                check_command            
check_oracle_requests!--requests!bspstg!nagios!nagios!1!700!1000
               max_check_attempts       5
               normal_check_interval    5
               contact_groups           admins,managers
              }

As I said these 2 are also defined on a  devbox so instead of 
hostgroup_name it says host_name and instead of 'bspstg' it says  
'bspdev' but none of that should matter. Here the services are totally 
consistent whereas in the sdatabases group they keep dis- and 
re-appearing.


Anyone seen this ??
