"(Has been acknowledged)" message won't go away

[Peter Beckman]

I downloaded the nagios manual in PDF and searched for "Acknowledge" -- I
found 5 times the word appeared, with the ending "d" and not.

Nowhere did it tell me what happens when I acknowledge a problem, nor how
nagios removes the acknowledgement after the host comes back up.  I've
since deleted the comment, but the acknowledgement icon and subsequent text
won't go away.

I didn't see anything relevant in the archives either, searching for "ack"
"acknowledge" and "(Has been acknowledged)".

So:

I've got this host.  It is up, according to the host check service
check_tcp9931.  Yes, running 1.1, which is why I made a special service
with no args.  It is in an "acknowledged" state and I don't know how to get
it to stop being acknowledged, since it is back online.

Any ideas?

-----
Also, when it recovered, recovery messages did not go out, even though they
were set to by the config:

        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r

Messages did go out when it was acknowledged.  The messages may not have
gotten sent because I restarted nagios, and it assumed it was up to begin
with, not down, although I thought it cached that info, but maybe not in
1.1.

Thanks,
beckman
