Bug: NSCA 2.4 on OS X 10.3

[Noah Leaman]

Yes. Look at that. It appears /bin/echo on OSX doesn't support -e ...

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ 
html/echo.1.html

So I took the -e out... but still the same problem.  BUT... now knowing  
that the \t characters were probably getting interrupted. I changed the  
default delimiter to ";" and BINGO:

MyTiBook:~/nsca nleaman$ /bin/echo "host.domain.com;Ping;0;PING OK -  
Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 443.71 ms\n" | /Users/nleaman/nsca/send_nsca -H  
127.0.0.1 -d ";" -c /Users/nleaman/nsca/send_nsca.cfg
1 data packet(s) sent to host successfully.

That works as expected!

Thanks to everyone for your help...
