Oh yea, and this database stuff?  Completely irrelevant to what nagios
actually logs:

bash-2.05a# while true; do sleep 10; ls -lh /var/log/nagios/nagios.log ;
done
-rw-rw-r--  1 nagios nagios 16M Jun  3 16:14 /var/log/nagios/nagios.log

*This* makes it RC, imo.  Especially since /var is typically its own
partition, so /var/log/nagios/nagios.log will happily
starve /var/lib/mysql for space.. causing data loss.  RC bug.  :(
