Nagios & Linux Threads

I'm running Nagios 2.0 on FreeBSD 6 and I occasionally experience the
problem originally discussed http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=165398+171880+/usr/local/www/db/text/2005/freebsd-hackers/20050821.freebsd-hackers

(That is: a forked nagios process that consumes as much CPU time as it
can.)

Living with this problem while annoying isn't the end of the world. I
was looking for workarounds.

One solution for a work around was to use Linux threads. I was
wondering if anybody had managed to get Nagios 2.0 to use Linux
threads successfully. And if so, what changes to the port were
required.
