nrpe 2.0 with AIX 4.3.2

[Aaron Levitt]

Unfortunately, I didn't see it, and this article (along with the rest of
the list archive) no longer seems to exist on sourceforge.  However, if
you could give me the subject of the thread I could probably locate it
in the gmane archive.

Thanks!

The cause of the rather misleading/uninformative error message is
described here:
