check_nagios and the new status.dat: Nagios 2.0+ with any plugin version

I've seen a lot of related messages, but none with the final answer.
Most don't even diagnose the problem correctly.

If you're running Nagios 2.0+ then check_nagios will not work.  This
includes check_nagios from the latest CVS snapshot and all previous
versions.  For your information, it is because the status log format
has changed... drastically.

As a temporary workaround, I'm using the check_file_age perl script in
lieu of check_nagios.

Yeah, this is probably supposed to be in the nagios plugins mailing
list, but it's relevant here since there are a few messages about
check_nagios reporting that the status file is very old.
