long_plugin_output problems?

[Alessandro Ren]

     Is it right the way nagios 3.2.0 is escaping the strinf for the 
long_plugin_output?
     It is strange to me the way it is doing. Bellow is the output from 
nrpe escaped by nagios in a check.

     Tks.

long_plugin_output=NRPE Plugin for Nagios\\\\nCopyright (c) 1999-2007

-n         = Do no use SSL\\\\n -u         = Make socket timeouts return 
an UNKNOWN state instead of CRITICAL\\\\n <host>     = The address of 
the host running the NRPE daemon\\\\n [port]     = The port on which the 
daemon is running (default=5666)\\\\n [timeout]  = Number of seconds 
before connection times out (default=10)\\\\n [command]  = The name of 
the command that the remote daemon should run\\\\n [arglist]  = Optional 
arguments that should be passed to the command.  
Multiple\\\\n              arguments should be separated by a space.  If 
provided, this must be\\\\n              the last option supplied on the 
command line.\\\\n\\\\nNote:\\\\nThis plugin requires that you have the 
NRPE daemon running on the remote host.\\\\nYou must also have 
configured the daemon to associate a specific plugin command\\\\nwith 
the [command] option you are specifying here.  Upon receipt of 
the\\\\n[command] argument, the NRPE daemon will run the appropriate 
plugin command and\\\\nsend the plugin output and return code back to 
*this* plugin.  This allows you\\\\nto execute plugins on remote hosts 
and fake the results to make Nagios think\\\\nthe plugin is being run 
locally.\\\\n\\\\n
