I am able to replicate the crash if nessusd does not send any plugins.
You should be able to see this (1) in the status window because it
reports "0 plugins loaded" and (2) in the Protocol Tracer as there would
be no plugins received from the server.

That you resolve the problem by copying everything from the system-wide
to your own plugins folder suggests that nessusd is mis-configured. What
does "nessusd -s | fgrep plugins_folder" report? If it's not
/usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins, adjust the setting in nessusd.conf,
restart the daemon, clear out /usr/local/var/nessus/users/adam/plugins
and try running NessusWX again. Does the problem disappear?

"nessusd -s | fgrep plugins_folder" returns nothing.

"nessusd -s" returns:
cert_file = /usr/local/com/nessus/CA/servercert.pem
key_file = /usr/local/var/nessus/CA/serverkey.pem
ca_file = /usr/local/com/nessus/CA/cacert.pem
config_file = /usr/local/etc/nessus/nessusd.conf

and my nessusd.conf file does indeed contain "plugins_folder /usr/local/lib/nessus/plugins"

suggestions?
