Yes, it does. I had this happen to me about a year ago. The FAQ says
that it can be caused by time slew on the server but that wasn't the
case for me. At the time I didn't know what was causing it and it
eventually stopped but looking back now, I suspect that it's caused by
having multiple nagios processes running. You might try stopping nagios
then using ps to see if indeed there are other nagios processes still
hanging out and kill them if there are.
