d) Try this patch:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1985246&group_id=29880&atid=397597

e) Pray the next nagios-plugins release has this fixed - unlikely unless:
 a. Release is delayed by a few more weeks
 b. I manage to find free time before the next release
 c. Someone review the patch, answers my questions and it looks fine

I second that, although if the patch was well thought (d) might work for
you :)
