same test appearing multiple times in 'info' page for several hosts...

[John Burk]

Yes, the ghost report is blank.  The hosts in question just seem to
have the same test defined multiple times; 1 instance of the test has
a green status, the rest (all of which have the timestamp from when
the client host came back up) are all purple.  Subsequently, the
purple status is the one that seems to be displayed on the main page.
