However, when talking to nrpe, even localhost, I still get some CRC failure messages.  For the heck of it I disabled that fatal return code, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.  Any clue why crc would sometimes fail and sometimes not ?  I looked at the code but didn’t see anything obvious.  There was a nice patch from op5 for nrpe:

*Ahem*. Opsview, not op5 :)

You would have to patch nsclient++ to include this. Michael Medin is the developer and I'm sure he'd welcome a working example.
