granted i haven't actually checked this, but what if you have a
check_command defined as "/path/to/something < /path/to/input" ? not a
security issue in this regard, but i'd say a bug if it mucks with the
displaying of the content.

in any event i'd say it's a matter that should still be worked out with
the plugin output presentation. =20
