That was what it looked like, but I wasn't entirely sure what was going
on there.

Agreed, think that there was no reason Nagios shouldn't handle it, I
posted such a patch Friday to the nagios-devel list - though I have yet
to hear back from anyone on it.  I tried to bring up what appeared to be
the Nagios bug tracker site too, but I couldn't get it to load at the
time so I didn't pursue posting a bug report.  Maybe I'll look for it
again later this morning.

You are welcome!
