Hi,
A friend of mine show me that latest feed contains lots of duplicate
plugins  (we count 3952).

example:
 /var/lib/openvas/plugins/openvas_tcp_scanner.nasl
 /var/lib/openvas/plugins/2011/openvas_tcp_scanner.nasl

this causes openvassd 6 to crash (coredump) on few duplicate (5 plugins)
during plugins loading.

Perhaps Older version than latest  Openvas 7/8 may shared same behaviour.

To fix, We run a script to delete duplicates after nvt-sync.

BR
Seb
