Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to say that there is something peculiar happening in (??)
utils.c/process_macros that leads to plugins being called with unwanted
arguments.

Here is the output of netsaint after putting a printf in checks.c after
the assignmnet to args[3] (the argument string for the embedded Perl
interpreter).

As you can see, although the processed command may have no arguments (in
for example check_adds, check_sapintranet and check_atmoss), there is
still a non NULL args[3] that upsets the plugins when they expect a non
null @ARGV.

The problem is only occurs when Perl is embedded because otherwise the
check is executed as popen(processed_command).
