Hmm, happens to me too with RC1 on a Gentoo system. I don't see anything
in the Bug Tracker about it. I tried using gdb to generate a backtrace
as well as using strace but didn't see any obvious reason for the
problem. Jan, let me know if you need any help debugging this.

I suppose in the meantime you should use the nessus CLI.

Yes, you'll need to do that with my script. I need to do a new release
so I'll fix this too. [Guillaume Belanger alerted me a month ago that my
script hangs indefinitely if paranoia_level has not been set in a config
file; I told him I'd fix it in a couple of days. Guess where my
priorities have been... :-[
