Nessus Client terminating during scans

Subject: Nessus Client terminating during scans
Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2008 07:46:42 -0700
I'm running Nessus 3 on Redhat ES5 using Nessus Client v3.0.1 (build
2G172_Q).  I am scanning for Wireless AP's only at the moment, across a
large number of subnets.  After a while I return to the server console
and find the client application terminated.  This has happened several
times now!  The logs show the following:

 

Client abruptly closed the communication

hosts_new() failed - No child processes

Total time to scan all hosts: 4193 seconds

User admin: Kept alive connection

Communication closed by client

 

Any thoughts on what would cause this or how to troubleshoot it?

 

Thanks,

 

-Dan
