Nessus 3.0.3 scan abends Btcpcom.nlm

Subject: Nessus 3.0.3 scan abends Btcpcom.nlm
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2006 10:23:44 -0400
After updating (uninstall old, clean install new) from Nessus 2.6 to 3.0.3, our 
recent scan caused multiple abends on our NetWare 6.5 servers.
It effected about 50% of the servers scanned. 

Abend was: EIP in LIBC.NLM at code start +0008BB95h
Running process: BTCPCOM.NLM     6 Process
Thread Owned by NLM: BTCPCOM.NLM

Safe checks were enabled and port scanning was enabled.

This approach worked ok with (no NetWare abends) using our previous version of 
Nessus.

I did read a Novell TID from 2003 (2966492) concerning a field fix for Nessus 
port scanning causing an abend with Btcpcom.nlm, but all our servers have the 
same date and version recommended by the TID. 

Servers are a mix of NetWare service pack level, SP2, SP3, SP5. We are working 
to get all to SP5. It was about a 50-50 mix of effected servers in relation to 
the service pack level.

I have yet to find any pattern to pursue, other than the obvious info from the 
abend logs. Does anyone have similar experience or any insight?

Thanks
