If you 'disable' objects.cache (which would mean deleting it) the cgi's 
wouldn't get any object config info at all, and would thus fail 
miserably. Are you sure you don't have multiple instances of Nagios 
running (it should be 4 or 1, depending on how your version of ps shows 
threaded applications).
