Nagios notification bug?

[Marc Powell]

It sounds like in both cases there are multiple nagios processes
running, possibly due to starting the daemon multiple times without
killing earlier iterations. Use the init script to stop the daemon then
ps to see if you have any nagios processes still running. If so, kill
those then restart nagios.
