Return code of 111 is out of bounds message

[Marc Powell]

111 doesn't appear to be a well known posix exit code (at least according to google and my experience). What OS are you running nagios on? 
Are these checks remotely run on Windows (via NRPE_NT for example)? 
Is there any commonality between them that you can discern (all perl checks for example)?  
How about the state of the nagios machine when this is happening. Can you run the commands manually as the nagios user at that time? Perhaps you'll see some informative output to STDERR. Are there memory, CPU or I/O issues?
