NSClient++ and CheckEventLog

[Michael Medin]

humm...

I would not change it everywhere since I (personally) think it is a 
pretty rare "problem" unles you have an applicatikon which usualy logs 
very long messages.
What you are saying is use a .5Mb memory on all my servers just because 
it "might be a long message" since very very long message (the message 
data is several K's in size) are not too common in the eventlog I would 
not change anything unless the error pops up.
