This looks like you're using a send_nsca version < 2.9, where multiple
check results were seperated using newlines.  In that case, you'll have
to replace each newline character within multi-line output with the
literal string '\n'.

With NSCA >= 2.9, multiple check results are seperated using ASCII ETB
characters (octal value: 27) instead of newlines, and multi-line output
can be piped into send_nsca as-is.  (Actually, converting the newline
characters into '\n' will no longer work with NSCA >= 2.9.)
