ChartWorks Server 3.7.0, Nessus, and a Fishing Expedition

Hello,

We are just beginning to analyze a scan that possibly caused
ChartWorks Server 3.7.0 (http://www.visualmining.com/) on Windows 2000
to crash.  The vendor has been responsive and is not aware of Nessus,
ISS, or Qualys causing any issues.  We ran Nessus Server version 3.0.3
- build 2S110 on Mac OSX system10.4.9 / Darwin 8.9.1 and the latest
general plugin feed from last week.  Due to many details lost in
lingual translation and technical experience, we still do not know the
effects, which makes it hard to correlate the stimulus(i) that caused
the failure.  So, I am wondering if anyone on this list has ever
scanned ChartWorks Server 3.7.0, and if so, what their experiences
have been.  This might help us understand if Nessus did send stimulus
that caused the issue, and if so, which plugin.

As for Nessus, we will be reviewing the nessusd.messages and other
related scan information.  If we had the ability to scan again, other
than running all the scans sequentially and logging everything, does
the list have any other suggestions?  By the way, we have local
administrative access to this server, too.

Cheers,
