Thanks Herbert!  Patch has been applied to CVS with one change - half of 
the floor() calls have been changed to ceil() to try and compensate for 
the missing round().

I find it bizarre that calling round() would cause a segfault, so it 
definitely sounds like a bug with the libraries.  Since there aren't any 
round() calls in Nagios 2.x, there must be something else wrong in that 
code...
