SEGV in 2.0b1 (tarball from Nagios.ORG) - at exit(result): FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE/pthread lib.

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your letter and say,

What I intended was that Nagios 2.0, a threaded app, needs a threaded 
Perl.

At this stage, apart from having Nag 2.0b1 (tar ball) pass the 
pre-flight with a threaded Perl (5.8.5), I don't know whether it 
actually works - until tonight (about 3 hours away) when I replace 1.2 
with the 2.0b1.

I think configure needs to be changed to barf if it detects a non 
threaded Perl with the configure options --enable-embedded-perl (or 
--with-perlcache).

( -DWITH_THREADS is an option for the FreeBSD perl port [make 
-DWITH_THREADS in the Perl port directory]; the FreeBSD port is built 
sans threads by default.

WITH_THREADS is not used by any of the embedded Perl support in Nagios 
2.0 or 1.x AFAIK).

Sorry for the noise.
