I too thought this was most likely. It sure sounds like some kind of  
system-level issue and nagios not working is just a symptom. Maybe  
your system logs show something helpful. If it happens again, maybe an  
strace of the nagios process might show something interesting or even  
putting it into debug mode maybe?
