Hi Thomas - I think I must have missed your original problem description
in the mass of emails that I've been behind on. I guess you'd have
to test the new code to see if that fixes your problem for sure.

If I'm correct, you shouldn't loose passive checks under heavy load
conditions unless you exhaust physical memory and something like the
infamous OOM killer starts killing processes. Under normal situations,
passive checks would just be delayed under heavy load.
