check_procs problems

[Voon, Ton]

Everything looks right, so I'm baffled. Couple of options:

1) check_procs -C /opt/CTXSmf/slib/ctxXtw should work
2) newer r1_3_0 branch at http://nagiosplug.sf.net/snapshot. Was an
enhancement to -a argument, as r1.3.0 only matches from beginning of
argument
3) use HEAD snapshot. check_procs -v -v -v will give maximum debug output
4) add debug statements in check_procs.c to work out why it is being
rejected

I bet it is something really obvious...
