Nagios hangs on startup

Sorry to bug the list, but my 3.2.1 installation of Nagios has all of a
sudden stopped starting.  I noticed a lack of alerts over the last day, and
when I checked the GUI it indicated that the "next" scheduled check for a
service was in the past.  I proceeded to stop/start Nagios, but both have
failed.

Currently when I try to start Nagios using the init script it just hangs:
[nagios at psdbsd01 (~/etc)]$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nagios.sh start
Starting nagios:

I've enabled debug logging (-1 level, 2 verbosity), but this is all that
shows up in nagios.debug when I issue the above start request (uid 1003 =
nagios):
[1277942532.270096] [001.0] [pid=46503] drop_privileges() start
[1277942532.270194] [004.0] [pid=46503] Original UID/GID: 1003/1003

I can run nagios -v nagios.cfg, and it reports no errors.

Here's the output if I run nagios nagios.cfg manually, without invoking
daemon mode:
[nagios at psdbsd01 (~/etc)]$ ../bin/nagios ./nagios.cfg

Any tips?  I am not sure what the next steps are since both logging and
debugging aren't producing output, and Nagios has never taken more than a
few seconds to start in the past.
