although this is approved, just for reference, I had gotten a chance to 
test this patch as I agreed to.
the info I was meant to supply is:
on start up, nagios reads retention data, in this process it calculates 
from state history if the service is flapping, if the service is 
calculated to be flapping, and according to retention data this service 
was not flapping, a notification is sent out. if the service is 
calculated to be flapping, and according to the retention data this 
service was already flapping, a notification is not sent.
previous behavior didn't send a notification at any condition, this 
behavior was changed.
