SEGMENTATION FAULT - Using very long terms for servicegroup names

[Ethan Galstad]

Hmmm...  has anyone else experienced this problem?  I tried getting 
Nagios to segfault with a long servicegroup name, but as of yet have 
not been successful.  

Tobias, could you change any sensitive information (host addresses, 
passwords, etc.) in your configs and send me a copy once you can 
replicate a segfauly with the modified configs?  That would help me 
in tracking down the problem.  Thanks!
