NSClient custom counter question

[Harper Mann]

[root at milano plugins]# !./ch
./check_nt -H torino -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "\\Paging File(_Total)\%
Usage",'Paging File Usage is %2.2f%%' -w 40 -c 90
Paging File Usage is %2.2f%% = 3

[root at milano plugins]# ./check_nt -V
check_nt (nagios-plugins 1.4.0alpha1) 1.21

Nagios-1.4.0alph1 is wrong for me as well....
