Indeed - I just tried this, and it won't drop the test. I'll have to 
look into that.

Meanwhile, I can think of two solutions:

1) Drop the host, that will remove all of the tests. It will also remove 
the history-logs and RRD files, so you might want to save them first and 
then copy them back in (it's ok to just rename the files and directories 
in hist / histlogs / rrd and then rename them back).

2) Shutdown Xymon, edit the tmp/xymond.chk file (it's a text file) and 
delete the line with this status.
