Unfortunately, none of the people here on nagios-users@ pointed you to
nagios-devel@, where you might have gotten a different reception given
the fact that you actually seem to have given this problem some thought.

That being said...

It's also a place where one can help others out, or exchange ideas, or
post little scripts that do funny things with Nagios data. Taking
without giving will make people grow tired of you.

I think the mail from Jonathan Call is worth giving a shot. Other than
that, re-send your original mail, with nagios version, uname -a output,
libc-version, libpthread version and implementation and any and all
scripts or cron-jobs you have which touch /tmp, the nagios fifo and
anything else you think might be relevant. Please don't post several
hundred lines of config. If we need to see it, we'll ask for it, but
nobody likes emails that covers several screens.
