This is the first time I ever hear about such bug. It would definitely
help if you can show us some code that cause it.

If it's written in Perl, is it being executed trough the ePN? There's
some specific things that you can't do under it
(http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#PERLPLUGIN);
if that's the case you should first try without ePN by specifying the
perl executable in the command line (ex:
command_line /usr/bin/perl $USER!$/check_stuff blah blah blah).
