Retention File

[Eli Stair]

Did you zero the file out though?  I surmise the root problem came from 
some level of corruption in reading/writing that file... if not present 
it will rebuild it from scratch as it schedules checks and gets results.

I was having a problem towards the end where one particular hostgroup of 
~800 systems was losing the service state after a restart on _most_ of 
its services but not all (those that weren't being saved always lost 
state on restart, those that WERE always worked).  I was using retain 
service state (just not scheduling), so it was a partial error for this 
issue.
