long_plugin_output problems?

[Alessandro Ren]

     This is the same long_plugin_output generated by nagios 3.0.6, I 
think something changed in the escape code. Any ideas?

a\nstandalone daemon. Once a request is received from an

the\nconfig file) and return the plugin output and return code to 
the\ncheck_nrpe plugin.\n\n
