This problem has nothing to do with nrpe, but the limited functionality 
of the plugin or its underlying datasource (i.e. another program).

I imagine the program where the bug resides uses a signed int to store 
the values of the available RAM. A signed int stores exactly 2GB, so if 
it's more than that it would fail (most likely showing negative numbers 
instead). You can easily patch this yourself by looking up the variable 
declaration and change it from int to unsigned long long, which is 
capable of holding a number greater than all bytes of RAM available on 
this planet, and shuld thus suffice until it can be properly worked 
around. ;-)

If I'm correct, then everybody does, but it's not sure that many have 
noticed.
