check_ping stuck on 'PENDING'

[Robert Yeo]

Having the same problem with different services then check_ping.  The states
are stuck in PENDING and even a manual force check doesn¹t help.

Some boxes are returning fine (they are included in the same service
definition), but others are not.   Command line always works.

I have tried clearing the spool directory and removing retention.dat with no
success..  Also, no information in the debug file as the commands are never
polled.

If I have any success I¹ll be sure to post, but I am beginning to wonder if
this is a problem with Nagios 3.0.x?  Since a roll-back to nagios 2 fixes
the problem.
