nagios with embedded perl 5.8.9 in FreeBSD

[Sebastián Guarino]

Hi:

First subscribing to this list, just to submit a patch and to say nice work.
Nagios 3.0.6 with Perl 5.8.9 on FreeBSD throws a signal bus when starting.
gdbing the code I opened a pr on FreeBSD site: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131993&cat=

But after that, reviewing the code, there is something wrong with a 
local variable initialization. Jesus, take a look at embedding 
"variable" on init_embedded_perl() funcion on utils.c!!
Here is my patch to correct the problem. Hope it helps.

Thanks
Sebastian Guarino
