There seem to be at least two issues here

1 changes to configure to use ePN by default - if that's what you got 
(<path_to_nag>/bin/nagios -m will tell you).

In any case, configure --help will show the options to disable ebedded 
Perl interpreter 

2 changes to ePN

2.1 to deal with leaks by periodically reload interp (should set  
upper bound on nag mem usage) ==> unlikely to be source of probs

2.2 changes to p1.pl and interface to nag in checks.c (me) ==> prob 
culprit.

I haven't looked at 2.0 for a while but these latter changes have been 
solid with 1.2 for yonks.

Have a look at the p1.pl text and see if you feel like enabling 'war and 
peace mode' debugging (think it's called 'debug' or sim) by editing 
p1.pl and posting me the log.

perldoc <path_to_nag>/bin/p1.p1 should tell you what to do. OTOH the 
docco is __slack__.

Since this is a bug in a devel branch may be better on nagios-devel

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
