Problem sending passive results using NSCA with multi-line output

[Tech Support]

I updated to version 2.9.1 and it works like a charm. Thanks!

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.)
