Nagios retries checks too soon.

[Paul M. Dubuc]

Running Nagios 3.2.3, here is an example from the log that shows Nagios 
retrying a failed check after only 10 seconds.  The normal check interval is 
7.5 minutes, retry interval is 1 minute, max. check attempts is 3.

Note that this test has a timeout of 130 seconds, so it's been running for 
over 2 minutes when it times out.  Does Nagios do retries sooner when the 
timeout for a check is longer than the retry interval?  Is the retry interval 
measured from the time the previous check starts, or from the time it ends?
