I am wondering if we are all seeing the efects of the same bug.
Joshua and Steve what distribution/kernel version are you running on
the boxes producing this error?

My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions.

I was observing it on FreeBSD 4.11 running nagios 1.2. Xach, one of the dev guys here spotted, and appears to have corrected the issue, at least on FreeBSD.

Xach:
It turns out our local modifications to the service_message structure pushed it over 512 bytes, making its write() over the pipe in write_svc_message non-atomic. read_svc_message was then reading only a partial message, and the zeroed-out fields triggered the "did not exit properly!" errors.

I posted (via gmane) to the nagios-devel list with the details and a patch.
