numbers (according to strtod) to be a numeric value for threshold and
performance data

 	ENHANCEMENTS
 	check_nt UPTIME accepts warning/critical thresholds (Ryan Kelly)
+	FIXES
+	check_snmp now attempts to convert string responses into a double value. If the full string is a value, 
+	  check_snmp will consider it a numeric value and thus apply threshold checks and return performance data.
+	  This reverts back to 1.4.14 behaviour with strings
