Nagios 2.0rc2 on FC4 x86_64

[Eli Stair]

I've been seeing this (without problem) throughout the 2.0b series on 
x86_64.

As of building 2.0rc2 though, I'm getting errors with the same config 
that were not present earlier:

   Premature end of script headers: cmd.cgi

Haven't tracked down the cause, it's only occuring now when accessing 
the GUI.  After initially building rc2 I had problems with nagios 
segfaulting.  I switched to the p1.pl interpreter from /contrib/ and 
that issue went away.

It may be unrelated, but could just now be manifesting itself also.
