The config verification should produce a warning. Its not a real error,
as Nagios will simply assume that any time is valid for
notifications/checks if a timeperiod isn't specified. The docs need an
update I guess.

I think the patch I just committed for the servicegroups error you
mentioned earlier also fixes this bug.

I tested this tiny config and it worked okay - got warnings about
missing timeperiods and it didn't segfault. Try the latest CVS when you
get a chance to see if that fixes any problems you were having.
