Strange characters in output when using check_logfiles with 3.0a5

[Hendrik Bäcker]

Hi List,

I am able to reproduce this with the current cvs version and build a
small perl script for possible testers:

libexec/epnplugin.pl
#################################
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# Test Plugin
#

print "CRITICAL - Test down\n";
exit 3;
#################################

commands.cfg
#################################

define command{
        command_name    epntest
        command_line    $USER1$/epnplugin.pl
}

#################################

I think a service definition will not be a problem for the most of the
readers here ;)

(ok... for the case)
