As Thomas mentioned, Nagios 3 will support multiple lines of output from
plugins, so this patch would break that future feature.
In Nagios 3any output after the first line will get thrown into either the
$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ or $LONGHOSTOUTPUT$ macros, depending on what type
of check was performed. There is also a 4K or 8K limit on the output
size to prevent runaway plugins from returning too much data.
