Hi Marc,

Hey All...

I've been trying to do some scans on one of our internal systems  
from the
Mac OS X version of Nessus. However, about 3 minutes into the scan, my
system Kernel panics. I've been able to replicate this three times  
in a row.
After checking the Panic logs, it appears that Parallels Desktop is  
culprit:

[...]
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.1: Wed Oct 10 18:23:28 PDT 2007;
root:xnu-792.25.20~1/RELEASE_I386

I *just* applied an update to Parallels (build 5584), and I'll try a  
scan
again. But I thought that I'd put this out to see if anyone else had  
seen
this.

Yes, this is definitely a bug in parallels desktop, there's nothing we  
can do on our side
to prevent it.

[BTW, in terms of stability, I've had a much much better experience  
with VMware fusion :]
