i think the general consensus is that this is the way things are
supposed to be.  general consensus: please correct me if i
am mistaken :)  a similar analogy would be check_http failing
to retrieve a specific URL if a web server were down.

if you'd like to have a host w/nrpe show up as "down" if nrpe
is not running, i would suggest to use some invokation of
check_nrpe or check_tcp as the check_host_alive definition
for such hosts.
