Summary:                    Incompatibilities between NRPE versions with
different packet sizes
Description: 
Because there are incompatibilities between NRPE versions, which support
different packet sizes, it is necessary to provide at least two different
versions: 

- packet size of 1 kB (which should be the default for most of the
packages, also BSD and Linux ones)
- packet size of 8 kB (which is desired for some Nagios plugins with a
longer output like check_multi)
