The computation of the state file age was dependent on the execution time of the check_mk_agent and the scheduling of the check itself. If e.g. the sections after the mknotifyd section took 5s this time was added to the state file age inside the check. In the worst case this may lead to wrong warnings that the state file age is older than 90s.

To use the fixed version of the mknotifyd check the check_mk_agent has to be updated on systems with Checkmk installations after a site update.
