"check_now" link, statistics?

After setting up the config file with a must-fail test:

Group "must fail" {
 Service Prog {
  command: fail
  expect: OK-Wonderful
 }
}

I ran argusctl hup, and saw "must fail" come up "green" (since it hadn't run
yet). I clicked down to the Service Prog object and then clicked
"check_now". It refreshed, but still came back green. Is "check_now"
supposed to force the argus daemon to recheck the service, or just reload
the page?

A few minutes later, the page did refresh itself and come up "red".

Also the statistics seem to be incorrect, after it ran the test and came up
red it says 100% up, 0% down, and no times run. And in fact none of my
regular, non-test entries show the total number of times run, they are
always blank. This is with argus 3.5 downloaded from tcp4me just this
weekend. Here's what the "must fail" Prog status page shows:

nameProg statusdown commandfail

... and now:

Year   Mon 19 May 13:06:50 2008 0:09:32   54.55  45.45 1
how could it ever have been up? That statistic should say 0% up, 100% down.
