Even though log_initial_states is set to 0 I'm still seeing CURRENT
HOST/SERVICE STATE entries on log rotation.

[1216702800] LOG ROTATION: DAILY
[1216702800] LOG VERSION: 2.0
[1216702800] CURRENT HOST STATE: hostname;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet
loss = 0%, RTA = 32.58 ms

This data makes up the bulk of our nagios.log this morning: 495K out
of 550K (a far cry from the 20M we were seeing before I disabled a few
log_ events above).

If I understand correctly log_initial_states will do another one of
these "CURRENT STATE" dumps after each reload, effectively growing
logs by 500K each time?

Thanks,

Caylan
