I've seen this problem on every platform I've used, including z/os, 32-bit 64-bit, sles, RedHat... I'll admit that the problems with the older platforms and Nagios versions (v1.2 and up) may have been different though they all appeared to fail the same to me. My first guess was SLES threading so I ported to RH and still no happiness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
