I think it's too integral a part of Linux to just change without it
affecting huge numbers of other programs.

You might be better off copying the pipe code, calling it bigpipe or
something, and then causing nagios to use bigpipe rather than pipe for its
named-pipe operations...

Not a simple task, and there might still be an underlying reason why only
512 will work...
