$SERVICEOUTPUT$ weirdness

[James S. White]

This seems to be embeded perl related.  Plugin Output: is  '' on all of my
custom perl service checks. This started happening when I moved from 2.0b2 to
2.0b4. It seems that checks.c:run_service_check() doesn't like output on
stdout or is ignoring it for some reason.

What am I missing here?
