Failure prediction is currently not in the logic, but it is on my
long-range drawing board. Not sure when it'll first appear -
probably close to a year before something stable is ready.

Yes, this field can have multiple value. 0 means the host/service is
not in scheduled downtime. Anything >=1 indicates how many
"overlapping" downtime entries are currently in effect for the
host/service. For instance, if the current time is 3:00pm and two
downtime entries (1:00pm-3:30pm and 2:45pm-5:00pm) where scheduled
for a host/service, the number in this field would be 2.
