2.0b1 bug in scheduled downtime for all services in hostgroup.

[Stanley Hopcroft]

Dear Folks,

I am writing with what may be a bug in scheduled downtime in 2.0b1.

After scheduling downtime for all hosts in a hostgroup and

- selecting the 'for hosts too' check box

- selecting flexible downtime

- entering a downtime interval and 

- entering a comment

firstly, the comment was _not_ affixed to the hosts in the host group 
(the generic comment 'this host has entered a period of scheduled 
downtime from 12:00 to 14:00 for 24 hours [24 hours was the downtime 
interval] was what appeared),

but worse,

notifications were sent out. between even the (wrongly interpreted 2 
hour) period of scheduled downtime.

The comments (the generic only) persisted only in comments.dat for 2 
hours.

Here is how one of the comments appeared in comments.dat

comment_data=This service has been scheduled for flexible downtime 
starting between 20-01-2005 12:44:42 and 20-01-2005 14:44:42 and l 
asting for a period of 24 hours and 0 minutes.  Notifications for the 
service will not be sent out during that time period.

Yours sincerely.
