That is exactly my feeling.  I think Nagios got pthread support lately
and therefore has to lug its historic architectural choices.  This
problem, in conjunction to the fact that most open-source developpers
test their products under Linux only, leads to have a misbehaviour when
ran on other Unices, like FreeBSD.  Some brave people with appropriate
skills and motivation should try to patch Nagios and then try to convince
Nagios developpers to integrate this change.
