Ah, i had a look, but didn't found your post before.
Solution #1 doesn't work, if i start my eventhandler
in background, nagios still waits for the eventhandler to
finish.


So, in my opinion, there are 2 problems with eventhandler/notifications.

1. They are executed sequentially and blocking nagios while executed
2. nagios runs amok when the eventhandler gets into an early_timeout 
because the main process
    wants to read from the killed pipe in a never ending loop.

I wrote a small patch for the second issue, maybe someone with more c 
skills wants to have a look...

 Sven
