Hello,

We had a strange behaviour with a service schedule last night; The service was scheduled to be checked only on February/2010(Fri Feb 26 00:08:36 2010). This is very strange, looking to the code we found the following piece:

-------

base/checks.c:

/* the service could not be rescheduled properly - set the next check time for next year, but don't actually reschedule it */
if(time_is_valid==FALSE && next_valid_time==preferred_time){

--------

Looking to status.log we saw that the last service check was performed at 22:48 of yesterday, and the time period defined for this service finish at 22:58 thus the next check could be scheduled to 22:53(theoretically) because the normal check interval was defined to 5 minutes.
Considering that we have a high latency problem(about 300 seconds) Nagios theoretically tried to check the service OUT of time period scope(22:53 + ~300 seconds of latency problem) thus rescheduling the check for the next valid time following time period definition;

Is the above reasoning right?
If yes, why it was scheduled for the next year and not for the next valid time in time period definition?

Below follow the timeperiod definition:

define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name mytimeperiod
alias a simple timeperiod definition
sunday 00:05-23:58
monday 00:05-05:44,06:21-23:58
tuesday 00:05-23:58
wednesday 00:05-23:58
thursday 00:05-23:58
friday 00:05-23:58
saturday 00:05-23:58
}

Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.
