check result buffer memory leak?

Hi,

I'm trying to get some more information about this fix in 2.11:
"Fix for a possible memory leak in situations where overflow occurs in check
result buffer"
How can I tell if our Nagios servers are suffering from this memory leak or
not?
Is this caused by scripts returning more than the ~300 some characters that
Nagios 2.x accepts for the check results?

Just trying to decide if its worth upgrading to 2.11 or just waiting a bit
longer for 3.0.1 ;-) We have a fairly big distributed server setup so I'd
have to upgrade about 8 Nagios servers.

All our servers are password protected and also only accessible internally
so I'm not that worried about the XSS vulnerability.

Thanks!
