  So in old version there are some incosistency for the host check retry?
  Such as Nagios fails to reschedule according to the host check retry.

  I am very curious about this and if there were a discussion preriously,
  do you have a reference about that discussion? Else, I will try to check the
  source code.

Thanks!
