As Thomas mentioned, Nagios 3 will support multiple lines of output from 
plugins, so this patch would break that future feature. :-)  In Nagios 3 
any output after the first line will get thrown into either the 
$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ or $LONGHOSTOUTPUT$ macros, depending on what type 
of check was performed.  There is also a 4K or 8K limit on the output 
size to prevent runaway plugins from returning too much data.
