I've added a patch to my overlay to fix this issue[1]. [1] - http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=dev/jmbsvicetto.git;a=commit;h=230fcbc6873d2b71a33ebf2cde2c2d1a93d35a3d
This has been fixed in nagios-plugins-2.0.3 (just committed), but of course the older stable packages will still have the problem until they can be removed.
The 1.4.x series has been removed, leaving only versions where this is fixed.
