To follow up on this, it turns out that in nrpe.c, readdir() is used to load files from the config directory, which is totally non-deterministic in the order the files are read. I believe this to be a bug, as I think it's a reasonable expectation (based on how pretty much every other program that allows you to include a conf.d directory works) for the files to be loaded in alphanumeric order. Is there a reason anybody knows of that this belief is incorrect? If not, I'll work on a patch.
