Reloading config - all plugins fail with 127 o ut of bounds

[White, Chad (MED)]

I see a very similar situation on my newly installed installation of 
Nagios.  In my case the monitoring hosts are all SPARC Solaris 8 
machines.  My situation:

1. Central server that performs a few active checks but mostly does 
passive checks
2.  Distributed servers that perform active checks and use 
obsess_over_services to return the results to the central server.

If I use the "reload" option of the included init script on the central 
server sometimes it actually works as expected.  Everytime I use the 
"reload" option of the script on a distributed server I never hear from 
that server again until I manually kill nagios and restart it on that 
server.  So, I am thinking something is broken with the obsess_ option 
on a HUP maybe.  I haven't gotten that far into troubleshooting it.

I've also noticed that the "restart" option of the init script isn't 
very reliable.  I had quite a mystery as to why my config kept randomly 
changing every 30 seconds until I realized the script had fired up 
another nagios daemon and not killed the old one!

thx,
--chd
