What problems have you had with NSClient++? We have a lot of customers 
using it, so it's in our very interest that it is stable.

Unfortunally v0.2.7 introduced a bug [1]. I tracked it down this weekend 
though and emailed MickeM, the author of NSClient++ the details and am 
now waiting for a new official release.

In the meantime I'va compiled and packaged a fixed version for our 
customers. We are now beta testing it internally. Feel free to use our 
version if you like [2]. You also get an easy to use MSI installation 
package :-)
