GET GET seen in Apache logs from Nessus Scan

Subject: GET GET seen in Apache logs from Nessus Scan
Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2005 12:33:40 +0100
I see the following in my Apache web logs after each Nessus scan:-

GET GET %2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/windows/win.ini
GET GET %2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/winnt/win.ini

I think that this duplication of GET is rather an odd construct
and was wondering a) Is this intentional, if so what does it show?
or b) is this an error in the writing of the Nessus rule?

I have done a quick scan of the plugins and the nearest I can find is
'analogx_traversal.nasl' (but I could be wrong) but I don't see why it
 duplicates the 'GET'.

Can someone put me out of my misery and let me know what is going on here.
regards,
Brian

P.S. I guess I need to find some time and try writing a few nessus plugins
and hopefully improve my understanding!
