I'm not sure if arnab.roy and neibias have the same issue, but we did just confirm a bug related to excessively long plugin output:

hi I do not believe the issue stems from the length of the output but rather what is their in the output . I think their should be some kind string santisation issue. in my case only the php xi interface brokedown before it crashed the service check result goes empty and it results in segmentation fault. I would like to highlight core nagios is not affected by this bug

[mguthrie]

That's entirely possible that it's a character issue more than a length issue. The output could cause a problem in the php interpretation. We'll see what we can figure out for this.

I haven't seen the problem any more since I upgraded to 2011R1.5.

[mguthrie]

The segmentation faults were most likely a cause of the following bug, which will be resolved starting in 2011R1.6.
