Unfortunately I can't reproduce your effect:

nagios:~# dpkg -l | grep nagios-plugins-basic ii nagios-plugins-basic 1.4.12-5 
plugins for the nagios network monitoring an
nagios:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ircd -H 'irc.freenode.org' -p '6667'
Critical Number Of Clients Connected : 6456 (Limit = 100)
nagios:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ircd --hostname 'irc.freenode.org' -p 
'6667'
Critical Number Of Clients Connected : 6456 (Limit = 100)
nagios:~# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ircd 'irc.freenode.org' -p '6667'
Critical Number Of Clients Connected : 6457 (Limit = 100)

Could you please be more verbose? Could you please try to check also against 
'irc.freenode.org'?

Thanks and with kind regards, Jan.
