Bug: NSCA 2.4 on OS X 10.3

[Ethan Galstad]

Looks like the culprit is /bin/echo !  It looks like /bin/echo isn't 
interpreting the -e command line option.  Check the man page to see 
if you should be using -c or something else.  send_nsca is reading 
from STDIN and its getting the "-e" as part of the data to be sent to 
the daemon.

Relevant snippets from the dump file are listed below:


   972 send_nsca GIO   fd 0 read 75 bytes
       "-e host.domain.com\\tPing\\t0\\tPING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 443.71 ms\\n
       "
   972 send_nsca RET   read 75/0x4b
   972 send_nsca CALL  read(0,0x801200,0x2000)
   972 send_nsca GIO   fd 0 read 0 bytes
       ""
   972 send_nsca RET   read 0
   972 send_nsca CALL  close(0x3)
   972 send_nsca RET   close 0
   972 send_nsca CALL  fstat(0x1,0xbfffea30)
   972 send_nsca RET   fstat 0
   972 send_nsca CALL  ioctl(0x1,FIODTYPE,0xbfffea80)
   972 send_nsca RET   ioctl 0
   972 send_nsca CALL  write(0x1,0xd000,0x2c)
   972 send_nsca GIO   fd 1 wrote 44 bytes
       "0 data packet(s) sent to host successfully.
       "
