Not sure how to do this but I've got the time and  willingness to learn. 
Just point me at some documentation and I'll plug away at it. I've done a 
little googling and have run the program with this for tonight:

valgrind --leak-check=yes --time-stamp=yes --log-file=/tmp/trace/nagios-valgrind 
nagios /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

I'll make the results available tomorrow.  If you would like other options 
please let me know which ones.
