I had to rebuild my local copy of nessus due to some minor changes I made to the UI. I did not make any changes to anything that links with nessusd. When I reinstalled everything and restarted nessusd, I started getting consistent crashes when nessusd is starting up. It crashes when it is loading the .nes plugins with a stack that looks like this:

I have seen it crash in plugins other than synscan.nes, so it isn't necessarily a problem with that plugin alone.

Any thoughts? I'm trying to start it up using electric fence now, but it is going really slowly, if I find anything there I'll post the details.
