Hi Dirk, I maintain the nagios port, but I haven't used it for awhile, and not since version 3. In the past it was always very stable. Have you run Nagios v3 on Linux? It may be a bug in the source of v3. Could you ask the Nagios support list about this? I don't have a running installation of nagios right now so I couldn't answer any questions they might ask.
