Received last week an email on nagios-devel list, where Bruce sends a
patch that Ethan replied it would be in cvs shortly. I still did not
have the time to look at the 2.2 code, but it might be there. Well, the
patch relates to the nagios process not being able to write some
temporary file before flush the content to the retention file. 

You can reach the post here:

Will look at the code of 2.2 to see if it's already patched with Bruce's
patch.

Marcel.
