Error using NSclient: Return code of 139 is out of bound

[emily zhou]

Hi Andreas,
Thank you for your ideas. But there is no anti-virus software installed 
on that box. I think I'll forget about it for now, as I'll upgrade the 
whole server from machine to software Nagios (I noticed newest ver. 
1.2). After that, to see what happens.
