Are addr1 and addr2 on the same physical machine by any chance? If not, 
this sort of behaviour is suggestive of resource contention issues. Are 
you aware of any when you were running the first set of scans? Is the 
behaviour repeatable? And lastly, what does the nessusd.messages log 
tell you about the first scan of addr2?
