We should be able to set one up for you if hardware is the problem. I'll 
have time day this friday, but I can get one of my collegues to set it 
up tomorrow if you like.

I have a fix-all, end-all solution for it, but it requires an insane 
amount of changes to how commands are run and removes multithreading 
code from Nagios completely. It works around the FIFO bottleneck as 
well, so it might be nice to implement anyways.

Anyways, if things go really bad, gimme a holler and we can work out the 
implementation.
