Are you _sure_ you see the duplicate definitions due to Nagios recursing
into hidden subdirectories?  I cannot reproduce this with Nagios 2.1/2.2
and from reading the code, I don't see how the check for hidden
directories in xdata/xodtemplate.c:430 could fail.

If you're running Nagios on Linux, could you check the output of "strace
nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg" and see whether Nagios really open(2)s a
file within a hidden directory?

The fact that it "works" with this revision of xodtemplate.c doesn't
properly isolate the problem, as the handling of "non-*.cfg" files and
directories within a cfg_dir is somewhat undefined with rev. 1.99[*].
