I have patched Merlin to behave that way and while the hosts get
properly categorized and added to the hash table now I get an almost
immediate Nagios segfault.  Despite a fair amount of invested time, I
haven't been able to hunt down the cause.

I am going to stop looking into this particular issue as I have hit a
limit somewhere in my understanding of Nagios/Merlin/debugging C but I
wanted to post the patch anyway in case it was of interest to someone
else.  For now I am going to disable all active checks on the NOC, as
suggested by Russell Jennings, and not rely on Merlin to handle check
activation/deactivation.
