One thing the ServiceBase constructor does is to set the status to
READY. Maybe this makes the difference in your code?

FYI, in case of the other sample file I mentioned to you previously
(fea/tools/show_interfaces.cc) the ServiceBase constructor (invoked
by the InterfaceMonitor constructor) is called right after
finalize().
In your case it all may depend how you use the ServiceStatus codes?
