Nagios Segmentation Fault

Just to put my two cents in on this. I was quite disappointed that this
wasn't fixed with Nagios 1.1. It seems to me that this problem is going to
get worse as more people upgrade to Mandrake 9 and RH8/9.

So how about it Ethan and Karl? Perhaps 1.1a with this issue patched?

Thanks,

Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your letter and hope that someone more 
careful will correct this answer if necessary,

The embedded Perl problems were resolved to associated with threaded 
Perls (usually Perl 5.8.0) as shipped with

. Mandrake 9

. Redhat 8+

and probably others (but not FreeBSD and probably the other BSDs also. 
The determinant seems to be mature thread support in the OS).

The problems _have_ been identified and fixed.

Unfortunately, I cannot identify where the good stuff is.

It looks to me that HEAD branches in the CVS of

. checks.c 			are OK

. contrib/mini_epn.c 		not OK

I hope someone will correct this. Unfortunately, I cannot see recent 
diffs in checks.c that look as if there were embedded Perl corrections.

I suggest that 

1 You lurk longer until Mr de Bisschop or Mr Galstad say something 
authorative.

otherwise

2 try the CVS checks.c

or

3 write me privately and you can have the stuff that I have tested with 
Mandrake 9.

Yours sincerely.
