Exactly. It was after a "/etc/init.d/nagios2 restart" that I noticed we
were getting two alerts emailed to us. Process list showed two nagios
processes running and after some investigation I traced it back to the
PID file problem in the init script.

However, I'm not sure why the restart spawns another nagios process?
Surely it should be able to read the nagios configuration file and
determine the PID file location in the first instance instead of falling
back to the hard coded "THEPIDFILE='/var/run/nagios2/nagios.pid'"? I'll
try to find 5 minutes to add a "set -x" to the init script and see
exactly what's going on.
