As far as I'm aware, there's no easy fix for this.  If you cannot 
upgrade your clients, then you can recompile the nsca binary with 
MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH set back to 512.  That should let you use the 
checkresult directory feature, without breaking compatibility with older 
clients.

I'll take another look at the source and see if any options jump out at 
me, but I don't know how much effort I should put into it - I think 
Andreas is actively working on a Better Solution.
