Current States logged upon log rotation

[Prigge Scott]

I recently upgraded from 1.0b to 2.7. I noticed that immediately after
my daily log rotation, the current state of all hosts and services is
entered in the log file. As I have thousands of hosts/services, this
makes the log (in my case) unnecessarily large, and was hoping to find
an option to prevent those states from being logged.

Here is a sample of entries I am referring to:
Informational Message[03-07-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT SERVICE STATE:
<hidden>;Ping;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 29.40 ms
Informational Message[03-07-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT SERVICE STATE:
<hidden>;Ping;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 73.01 ms
Informational Message[03-07-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT HOST STATE:
<hidden>;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 10.64 ms
Informational Message[03-07-2007 00:00:00] CURRENT HOST STATE:
<hidden>;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 28.26 ms

The documentation references the "log_initial_states" entry in the main
configuration file, which seems like it should control this option. But
as you can see by my config file below, it's disabled. Should I be
looking at a different option(s)? 

Thanks.
