Thanks for the tip, I did not know that the plugin uses ps for process 
listing itself. Since I'm lazy recompiling a binary for multiple 
platforms and because I need both normal and extended check_procs, I 
just substituted "/bin/ps" with "/binnps" in the binary and created a 
shell script /binnps with content

#!/bin/bash
/bin/ps axHwo 'stat uid pid ppid vsz rss pcpu comm args'

which then works as expected:

root# ./check_procs -w 100 -c 200
PROCS OK: 17 processes
root# ./check_procs_thread -w 100 -c 200
PROCS OK: 72 processes
