I'm getting a repeatable segmentation violation using the new client.
Following the directions provided by Renaud in the RC1 client
announcement, I tried to submit a bug report under the "NessusClient"
category, but I can't find such a category. The only ones I can find
are Nessus, nessus-installer, NessusWX, and www.nessus.org.
I have an strace file (~800k gzipped). Basically, I created a task
named "kite" and a scope named "kite". (The target's hostname, not
surprisingly, is "kite.") nessusd is running on localhost. When I
execute the scan, the "Receiving plugins" popup appears and progresses
through the loading of 8500+ plugins. Then the "Receiving
dependencies" process begins, and when it reaches 8500, the SIGSEGV
occurs and the client windows disappear.
My system is an Athlon 3000+ running Fedora Core 4 x86_64 with the
latest updates. The nessus package is fresh off the nessus.org
website as of this evening. The kernel is 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4. Gcc
info follows.

It probably won't help much, but here are the last few lines of the trace.
