Access lost to environment variables in 3.5.1.dfsg-2+b1

Hi there,
Running in debian sid, since our last maj from nagios3-core:amd64 3.5.1-1+b1 -> 3.5.1.dfsg-2+b1, we lost access to env variables in plugin ( we run nagios3 as the nagios user and we use env vars for some plugins ).
Echoing 'env' in a simple shell plugin ran by nagios gives the 'NAGIOS_ARG8= ' output.
After googling I tried sourcing a script before launching nagios and other things without any success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks !!
Mike

In your nagios.cfg file what is the value of enable_environment_macros ?

thx for trying to answer ;
enable_environment_macros=1
If I was not clear enough, it's System User's variable I can' t access no more, not macros defined in nagios

When running env from the plugin, is that all that is returned, just the NAGIOS_ARG8=?
In addition to the env setting in nagios.cfg, what is the use_large_install_tweaks set to currently? This can override the enable_environment_macros setting if enabled, and disable env macros among other things.

Yes.

I'm away from the server so can't verify for sure, but that's not a setting we have modified as far as I know, It should be set to its default value.

Do you mean resource.cfg $USERn$ macros? If not, could you clarify what you are implying by the "System User's Variable"?

I meant bashrc variables, variables displayed when typing 'env' in a shell. Used to work, now no more.

Odd. I am unsure what changed in the debian build. Could you post your full nagios.cfg?
