Hi Gordon,

Thanks for the patch. Could you include a change to the test
configurations in t/etc which demonstrates the problem.

When you've made a change to the configurations with the inheritance
problem, you should be able to run t/900-configparsing.t and get a
failure, but with your code patch, it should then work as expected.

More details: http://wiki.nagios.org/index.php/Nagios ... es#Testing

Re-post with your test changes and I'll apply to the stable branch.

Ton
