Given that nagios-plugins-common is part of the upgrade i presume it
is bug #673536 and i am therefore merging this one to it.

Next time please include the output of the command leading to the segfault
in the bugreport itself. A trace can be useful in addition to that, and
here it kind of duplicates the information, but it is harder to read and
a trace not always includes the full string being worked on.


Best regards
