The nagios process executing the check has encountered an irrecoverable 
error and died (as in kill -9 or it has received SIGSEGV), which has 
prevented it from returning the status of the plugin to the main nagios 
process.

I can imagine this would happen if 3 conditions are met;
1. you're using the yet unstable embedded perl in Nagios 2.0
2. the plugin is written in perl.
3. the plugin is bogus and / or incompatible with the embedded perl 
interpreter.
