What strikes me as weird is the fact that this crash happened after
Nagios had been running for 4 days (and always seems to happen at friday
nights between 9 PM and 11:30 PM in this particular network). I would
have expected service_result_worker_thread() to fail at start-time, if
at all.

Mind though, I've made some modifications to allow it to dump core
(which should be either default, ./configure-able or a command argument
since debugging without it is not nearly as efficient, and "ulimit c
none" can be used to prevent it from doing so any way), but only very
minor such that shouldn't affect stability at all.
