odd behavior for UP rule

Seeing some odd behavior from the "UP" rule..

I have the UP rule defined for a specific page/subpage.  Here is the exact
rule at it is defined in my analysis.cfg file.  It is the only place where
I have the "UP" rule defined.

PAGE=Wintel/wintel_citrix EXHOST=cospvs,cobpvs
        UP 10m 10d yellow

Here is the URL of the page I would expect this test to be applied to:
https://lxcobxymonp.hfc.ad/xymon/Wintel/wintel_citrix/wintel_citrix.html

The nature of the "odd behavior" is that this rule seems to ALSO get
applied to any host defined on the "main" or "top-level" page; CPU test for
those hosts changes from green to yellow.
If I comment out that rule, the "CPU" status for hosts on the top-level
page change from yellow back to green.
It seems to be limited to the UP test.  If I put in a DISK test that I know
should cause a status change (e.g. DISK 20 80 /, disk is at 57%), it does
not..

I'm currently v4.3.27 and the only change to the code was a patch I
received for r7985.

Thanks,

I sent this in a while ago.. I got no response, so I need to bump it.

It also seems to not be just the UP rule; I've since seen the problem with
the PROC test as well.

I don't quite understand why, but when I write a rule for a specific page,
the rule seems to get randomly applied to hosts on the "top page".  I say
randomly, because it doesn't seem to always occur.

I'm still haven't figured out the best way to use the component binaries of
the Xymon system to troubleshoot issues like this; to know whether a config
I have is causing a parsing error somewhere in the config files.  In this
case, nothing is appearing in any of the logs in my logs directory.

I'm kind of at a loss... any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
