Missed task following reboot

I hope someone can help me with this.

Running Windows 2000, fully patched. User 'terry' is part of the Admins
group. I have 2 scheduled tasks set up, both using the 'terry' account.
Both have the 'wake up computer to run this task' feature enabled.

1) The 'Play a sound' task, scheduled every day at 5:55
2) The 'Start browser' task, scheduled every day at 6:00

I put the computer in sleep mode (*not* hibernation) before going to
bed. Until yesterday, everything was fine, both task ran on time, no
problem. I've been doing this for a few weeks.

Yesterday at noon, I rebooted my computer for software installation
purposes. I continued working until the evening then as usual, put the
computer in sleep mode.

This morning, the task #1 did not run -- but #2 did!
The log says:

<< Some tasks may not have executed at their scheduled times between
2006-04-25 06:00:01 and 2006-04-26 05:55:14, either because the Task
Scheduler Service was not running, or because the computer was
hibernating. >>

I checked and the Scheduler service *was* running, along with all other
necessary services (RPC in particular).

What's going on here?
