check_ntp_peer reports stratum off-by-one?

[Matthew Pounsett]

It looks like I'm seeing a problem with the check_ntp_peer plugin, and the way it reports stratum.  It seems to be reducing the stratum by one on every server it checks.

% ntpq -c readvar | grep stratum
system="FreeBSD/8.2-RELEASE-p4", leap=00, stratum=3, precision=-19,

% ./check_ntp_peer -H localhost -W 3:3
NTP WARNING: Offset 0.007225 secs, stratum=2|offset=0.007225s;60.000000;120.000000; stratum=2;3;16;0;16

% ssh linuxbox ntpq -c readvar | grep stratum
processor="x86_64", system="Linux/2.6.32-36-server", leap=00, stratum=3,

% ./check_ntp_peer -H linuxbox -W 3:3
NTP WARNING: Offset -0.02112 secs, stratum=2|offset=-0.021120s;60.000000;120.000000; stratum=2;3;16;0;16

Is this a bug somewhere, or have I misunderstood the function of -W and -C?
