I've recompiled and reinstalled, as suggested by Paulo, and renamed and set
perfparse.cfg.example and perfparse.sh.example. But the problem remains. I
can't run the db update:

[root@genesis bin]# ./perfparse-db-tool --update
Error, can't open configuation file: "//usr/local/etc/perfparse.cfg"

The files perfparse-db-tool and perfparse.cfg are owned by root, and
perfparse.sh is owned by nagios. Is this correct?

/usr/local/nagios/bin
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       250813 Aug 27 10:24 perfparse
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         1661 Jul 28 10:42 perfparse_daemon.sh
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       262873 Aug 27 10:24 perfparse-db-purge
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       253547 Aug 27 10:24 perfparse-db-tool
-rwxr-xr-x    1 nagios   nagios     252518 Jul 19 16:59 perfparse-install-db
-rwxr-xr-x    1 nagios   nagios     259533 Jul 19 16:59 perfparse-purge-db
-rwxr-xr-x    1 nagios   nagios       1326 Aug 27 10:32 perfparse.sh

/usr/local/nagios/etc
[root@genesis etc]# ls -la perfparse.cfg*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1303 Aug 27 10:58 perfparse.cfg
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1303 Aug 27 10:24
perfparse.cfg.example

As you can see I've tried to run the update as root. What is my mistake? Now
I can't see the pp web page:

Error message: 
malformed header from script. Bad header=<pre>: perfgraph.cgi

Regarding the nagios restarting and stopping checks problems, they seems to
be solved. I've changed the use_retained_program_state from 0 to 1 and my
nagios is checking around 16 hours :-)))
