What error would that be? As the lead maintainer of the NRPE project I'm
very interested in finding it. I'm aware that the 1.x protocol defines
some of its types as "int". int's width varies depending on processor
architecture, so that should be considered an error.
Also, is your check_nrpe backwards compatible and capable of handling
both protocols?

I'm very interested. Particularly if you can include the documentation
on the protocol error.
If you can send a copy to ae at op5.se I'd be most grateful.
