Subject: Fix the memory allocation for the thresholds data
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?p=nagiosplug.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=9eabd8d054f003960daa150324873474df7aab60

Fix the memory allocation for the thresholds data

Allocate the appropriate amount of memory for storing the thresholds
data.  Before, we allocated the amount of memory required for storing a
_pointer_ to the thresholds data.  This crashed (at least) check_mysql
when using its "-S" option on FreeBSD/amd64 (as reported and analyzed by
Nikita Kalabukhov - 2797757).
