The only thing which used to crash my Nagios 2.x install was when I
tried to have dozens of scheduled down-time periods starting at the
same time.  It would write some information to the log file though if
I remember correctly.

I would echo Andreas' comment - it would be wise if possible to
consider upgrading if not to the current supported version then to the
latest version of Nagios 2.x.  I don't think the segfault problem with
scheduled downtime was ever fixed in Nagios 2.x so I would recommend
an upgrade to 3.x if you can.

hth,

Jim
