Hello,
Just curious if there's any regulars here who would like to help Ethan
out:

"Known Issues
There are a few known issues with the Nagios 2.0 code at the moment.
Hopefully some of these will be fixed before 2.0 is released as stable...
1. FreeBSD and threads. On FreeBSD there's a native user-level
implementation of threads called 'pthread' and there's also an optional
ports collection 'linuxthreads' that uses kernel hooks. Some folks from
Yahoo! have reported that using the pthread library causes Nagios to pause
under heavy I/O load, causing some service check results to be lost.
Switching to linuxthreads seems to help this problem, but not fix it. The
lock happens in liblthread's __pthread_acquire() - it can't ever acquire
the spinlock. It happens when the main thread forks to execute an active
check. On the second fork to create the grandchild, the grandchild is
created by fork, but never returns from liblthread's fork wrapper, because
it's stuck in __pthread_acquire(). Maybe some FreeBSD users can help out
with this problem."
Thanks,
Charles
