and this behaviour has changed *at least* once in the past, if not more.

honestly, for the sake of stability and consistancy i'd suggest leaving
it as it is.  it might be nice to have a flag that let you select what
you'd like to check (% left/used and Gb/Mb left/used, like the -T in
check_snmp_storage), but otherwise i think it's fine the way it is.
