It's interesting that apache isn't logging more useful information.
'Premature end...' is a pretty generic error message with many possible
causes... Were these compiled on the same machine they're now being run
on? Try running status.cgi from the command line like so --

$ cd ~nagios/sbin
$ bash
bash-2.05b$ export REQUEST_METHOD="GET"
bash-2.05b$ ./status.cgi

Current Service Status

Blah blah blah....

You may see error information that is useful for troubleshooting
(missing libraries or libraries that aren't accessible, etc)...
