Problems with freshness checking

[Fabio Lo Votrico]

Hi, I'm using only passive checks through nsca over 17 hosts with 4
services.
Sometime Nagios thinks the results of some check are stale, even if
that's not true. For example:

[1081851432] EXTERNAL COMMAND:
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;host1;service1;0;service1 is ok
[1081851561] Warning: The results of service 'service1' on host 'host1'
are stale by 9 seconds (threshold=420 seconds).  I'm forcing an
immediate check of the service.

but 1081851561-1081851432=129 !

The checks are submitted every 5 minutes and I expect that nagios consider stale a check after 7 minutes (freshness_threshold=420)

any idea?
