 Hi all,

i am upgrading our nagios 1.2 (on freebsd 5.3-release) to nagios 2.0
(currently last cvs after 2.0b3) on Freebsd-5.4RC3 and i saw a very
strange thing.

After few hours, nagios main process (nagios -d ...) use lot of cpu time
and when i do a truss on the pid, i have a "kse_release" loop message.

# top
last pid: 75729;  load averages:  1.81,  2.08,  2.03

I know there is a pthread_acquire() issue with Nagios and  FreeBSD
threads, but is there any patch against this ?

Thanks in advance...
