The nagios-statd daemon allows a Nagios server to monitor and alert about various resources on remote Linux machines.
If using python >= 2.6 on the remote server, nagios-statd stops accepting connections after 39 consecutive requests in a short period of time.
This patch can be applied to any nagios-statd 3.12 version released by April King on 11/17/2005. It's been tested to work with python 2.3 - 2.7.
