The threads implementation on *BSD leaves a lot to be desired,
unfortunately. This is not a Nagios issue.

As the problem isn't in Nagios and noone seems to have an authoritative
answer on what exactly is causing it, I'd say you would be better off
switching to a GNU/Linux system, with at least Linux 2.4.29 and
glibc-2.3 (a lot work was put into thread-safeness on glibc-2.3).
