Nagios segfault on startup when embedded perl is enabled on 7.1-stable/i386

[Michael W. Lucas]

Hi,

I'm running Nagios 3.0.6 on:

FreeBSD aubsr096.us.add 7.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE #0: Tue
Mar 17 19:59:50 EDT 2009
root at aubsr096.us.add:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

Perl is installed from packages, but I installed Nagios from ports to
enable embedded perl.

When I start Nagios I immediately get a segmentation fault.  Enabling
complete debugging just gives me:

[1237399013.145856] [001.0] [pid=93972] drop_privileges() start
[1237399013.145983] [004.0] [pid=93972] Original UID/GID: 181/181

I saw others with similar issues recently,
(http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-ports@freebsd.org/msg18740.html).
The only reported solution was rebuilding perl with the correct
options.  As my perl is from packages, I wouldn't expect I'd have that
issue.

Did any of the people who had this issue find a solution?  We're not
having any trouble on our CentOS boxes.

Thanks,
==ml
