I appreciate the suggestions so far.  I tried the patch and it still
hangs.  I can't believe this doesn't work for 3.2.0.  I have played
around with the config a bit, so here is my latest:

use_regexp_matching=1

define servicedependency{
        hostgroup_name                          windows,linux
        service_description                     nrpeclient
        dependent_hostgroup_name                windows,linux
        dependent_service_description           .* - nrpe
        inherits_parent                         1
        execution_failure_criteria              n
        notification_failure_criteria           w,u,c
        }
define service {
        use                     service-active-high
        hostgroup_name          windows
        service_description     nrpeclient
        check_command           check_tcp!5666
        }
define service {
        use                     service-active-perf-low
        hostgroup_name          windows
        service_description     disk drives - nrpe
        check_command           check_nrpe_win_drives!95\%!98\%
        }


I have 183 windows hosts and roughly 8 nrpe services per host.  I have
a handful of linux boxes with 2 nrpe services per host.  To me, this
seems like a pretty small installation and what I am doing shouldn't
be out of line.  Any other thoughts?
