Haven't tested it yet, but I did find a smoking gun for a lockup issue I
noted earlier - something that would be great to have a fix for in the
new version.

While scanning four machines, nessus wedged up, with four nessusd
threads stuck in a tight run loop, strace showing only "BRK(xxx)" every
second or so, and the default plugin timeout not being honored.

Thanks to Michel's run_plug.pl, I discovered all four nessusd's were
running check_ports.nasl.  So I wonder if
  i = i + 1
  port = scanner_get_port(i)
is not getting itself into an infinite loop somehow.  This lockup only
appears periodically, so perhaps it does depend upon which ports were or
were not found open/closed when rescanned???
