I've read the article, but I'm not entirely sure how you handle those
packets. Does it mean your patch raises the default size of the
packets to 16k? Right now nrpe allocates its maximum outputbuffer
and fills it with null bytes if the output is less - which is already
a pain in my opinion.
If you'd raise the output buffer from 600 bytes (or whatever it was,
can't recall it right now) to like 16k, that would spike up network
traffic tremendously and I'm quite sure that would break quite a few
setups. We already have someone in the german community who complains
about the useless ~400 bytes sent over the network ;)

Regards
