1.2 BUG with state retention?

[Tedman Eng]

I don't think it's a bug.  According to your posted configs, state is only
written every 60 minutes.  This means that the running-config and status.sav
can be out of sync for up to 60 minutes after you change a setting.

I wanted to bring this back up - because I have also encountered the same
problem. It's as if it flips the 0s and 1s in the status save file. If you
keep restarting nagios, it keeps flipping active and passive service
checks on and off.

I guess the only fix is to dig through the source and figure out where
things are getting criss-crossed. Has anyone in the community already
patched this?

Thanks.
