Please check you config files for non-ASCII characters like umlauts or
other special characters.

I had the same problem, status.cgi crashed at one specific service.
After double-checking the file with the service definition, I found an
unprintable character in the "service_description" causing this crash.

After I removed it, everything worked again.

An easy way to check for non ASCII characters is this:

find /etc/nagios3 -type f -exec file {} \; | grep -v ASCII
