[Xymon] is depends broken?

I have the following in my 'hosts.cfg':

209.85.225.105 google.com # http://www.google.com XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX www # trace http://www depends=(http:google.com/http)

Yesterday, the web server (www) was down for 55 minutes. The Xymon record shows that:

1. google.com/http was green for that whole period 
2. www/http bounced between red and clear for the whole period (with a bounce frequency of 5 minutes) 
3. My other Xymon server (configured without "depends") shows a solid 55 minute outage (red for 55 minutes). 

This behavior is not what I expect from reading the man page.

I tried to reproduce this problem with "depends" on my test Xymon server and was able to confirm the same behavior.

Is there a workaround to this problem with my Xymon 4.3.10 server?

cheers,

Troy
