Host check notification problem

I'm using Nagios 1.2 on Solaris 8, and host check notifications
appear to not be repeating.  If a host goes down a notification is
generated, and another notification is generated when the host comes
back up.  No repeat notifications are generated while the host is
down, even though the down time is much longer than the notification
interval.  A network trace confirms that service and host checks are
being done every minute as specified in the configuration.

Nagios behaves as if 'notification_interval 0' was specified in the
host definition, though this is not the case.  The nagios log shows
the initial notification when the server first fails the host check,
and shows the notification sent after the host comes back up.  There
are no other notification attempts listed in the log.

The hostescalation feature also does not work, probably because
notifications are not being repeated.

Service check notifications do repeat while a service is down, and
service notification escalations work correctly.

I see other messages about this problem in the list archives.  Can
anyone confirm an installation where host check notifications are
repeated and escalations are working correctly?
