Probably caused by fork() in threads. All bsd's are notoriously and
retardedly picky about things like that, so programs that work just
splendidly on Linux sometimes fail on *BSD.

One solution (apart from moving your monitoring infrastructure to
Linux) would be to move away from the threaded Nagios and try the
up-and-coming Nagios 3.4. It's been running just fine in our lab
the past 4 days, although not with mod_gearman enabled.

I'd have to send you the new Nagios code and get Sven to help me patch
mod_gearman to avoid using threads, but if you want to give it a shot,
I'm sure we could have you up and running in notime.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
