The nagios-plugins release refers to a release - so is imprecise between
releases - useful to get in the neighborhood, but not always detailed
enough. The check_httpd release (1.54) is the CVS revision and is
completely precise.

For your benefit, and everyone elses, you can save your time and mine by
including the output of the --version (-V) falg whenever you bring up a
bug report.

It turns out that all the variables had been converted (to avoid
warinings about strange casts) but I forgot to relax the input checks. I
just did that now, so I believe that if you refressh from CVS, it should
work.
