Yes, restart does seem to cause this problem.

I would agree that you have to wait for all the detached nagios
processes to fade away after stopping (or terminate them with
extreme prejudice using killall -9).  And this is probably the reason
restart causes the problem - there is no wait for the detached processes
to go away (and nothing about stop or restart gets rid of them, which
it should).  However, I prefer stop/wait/restart to stop/wait/start
because usually the only reason I want to stop and start Nagios is because
I've changed the configs and restart does a check on the consistency of the
configs and reports problems which start does not.
