No, but something that might be related.
You might want tosee the thread "Memory leak" started by me on April 3, 
although I just notice that my last posts didn't make it to the list...

In short: I see memory usage going way up when Nagios (2.0b2 or -b3) is 
running. I can't tie this to the nagios process as ps or top don't give 
unexpected RSSes or SZes, but this can be reproduced. Independent of 
using the normal configuration or a stripped-down version. Although I'm 
not able to prove that the memory is used (or the memory usage is 
initiated) by Nagios, I guess Nagios is responsible for it.

Valgrind output gives me lots of hints concerning possible memory leaks 
but I don't exactly understand it...
