Alert config issue or question -- 4.2 Alpha Release (and 4.03 Rc1)

[Kauffman, Tom]

I've a problem with my running 4.03RC1 (yeah, I know :-) that doesn't
seem to change with 4.2 Alpha.

With this alert_config set:

HOST=%(whq-sapcon-1|whq-sapcon-2) EXSERVICE=msgs
        SCRIPT=/usr/local/hobbit/server/ext/pg/sms oracle_echelon
SERVICE=telnet,svcs,procs color=RED DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h
        MAIL techsupt at localhost SERVICE=telnet,svcs,procs DURATION>6
REPEAT=4h
        MAIL techsupt at localhost UNMATCHED DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h

I get this when running the test:

00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Matching host:service:page
'whq-sapcon-1:telnet:' against rule line 140

duration 0<360)
00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Matching host:service:page
'whq-sapcon-1:telnet:' against rule line 142
00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Failed 'MAIL techsupt at localhost

00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Matching host:service:page
'whq-sapcon-1:telnet:' against rule line 143
00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Failed 'MAIL techsupt at localhost UNMATCHED
DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h' (min. duration 0<360)

So if I'm reading this correctly, my 'duration>6m' is being interpreted
as 'duration>6h'. The intent here is to require two failed tests before
paging. Where have I gone wrong?
