Yes. I'm not completely positive how it works, but being run with a 15 
minute interval makes it stop working after about 3 hours. It also 
pollutes the black-lists.

It times out. It can't do any competent work and is designed only to 
test Nagios' capability of slaying misbehaving plugins. I have a few 
other plugins which are equally useless for end users, so I'll submit 
them to the core project or perhaps build a small tarball of my own. It 
should only be used by very few very devoted beta-testers, so it's 
probably best to keep them separated from anything resembling "live" 
plugins.
