For what it's worth, I also have the exact same ack problem on occasion but haven't tracked it down either. I've also taken the approach of disabling the alert for a short time and then acking the new alert, or just dealing with the repeated alerts until it's fixed. Motivates you to fix things more quickly (when possible). This is with a pretty old snapshot from the 4.3.0 branch. I'll be updating to the final 4.3.0 release Real Soon Now. Was hoping that would magically fix the issue but I guess not. FYI, my number of tests is an order of magnitude smaller than yours.
After poring through lots of Cisco documentation today I think looking at some Xymon source would be a welcome break... Off to research. Cheers.

Could it be a buffer size that I need to increase in the compile? I.e. It's not finding the cookie in the rb tree, even after it looks it up?
Here is roughly the number of host/tests I have
~xymon/server/bin/xymon localhost "hobbitdboard fields=color" | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -n
9 none
91 purple
163 red
192 blue1870 clear 2476 yellow 68797 green

I had an issue with xymon not acknowledging events in the xymondboard in version 4.2.3
This has continued in 4.3.0
I run

In xymond.log I get

Xymondlog shows

unified-ipmi.pl version - 1.0
Which shows the Cookie right in there
I am stumped, what could be causing this?
This is repeatable in that it happens for several hosts in xymon but not the same host/test pair consistently, and I can acknowledge other things while it is not finding this cookie. Additionally, putting in in maintenance for 1 minute will allow it to be acknowledged after it comes out of maintenance , because it will get a new cookie.
