Nope, not seen it.  Is the fault on the monitored machine or on the
monitoring machine?

It's past 1am here, but the "139" seems familiar.  Something to do
with the remote plugin writing output to STDERR and that being sent
to Nagios.  If my failing memory is not totally screwed (which it probably
is), that is only a problem with check_by_ssh and not a problem with
check_smtp if you are calling it directly. 

But you should rely on the information from somebody who has not been
drinking unless you need to deal with the problem urgently.
