It's not. Nagios won't eat memory unless like that unless something is 
wrong with the code, and the only thing I can think of is the embedded 
perl interpreter.

Then perhaps some of your checks are hanging in non-interruptable mode? 
Are you using any plugins that you've rolled yourself?

Unless you've fiddled with the kernel, pids are allocated in a round 
robin manner from 1 to 2^16 in which case 12345 is actually more likely 
to see than any higher number. Just a mathematical sidetrack.
