Nessus Frozen: need help!

Subject: Nessus Frozen: need help!

Hi all,

I just wanted to say thanks first of all for such an awesome tool.

Second,  I wanted to see if there was any way to recover the results from a
nessus scan that appears to be hung.
I kicked off a scan and tail -f'd the log file.  I see that it's done,
however the console isn't responsive enough to allow me to export the
report.
Is there any way to recover these results?  I have tried strange little
things like renicing the nessus client to see if I could grant it some more
resources.

A system monitor shows that the nessus client is running, using 567.0 MiB
memory.
Top shows the process using 47.6 of memory but it's not done.

System monitor also shows that there is a "nessusd: nessusd-update : idle"
process.

I can't go back and rescan because my testing window has closed.  This is a
registered copy with a direct feed.

Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated.
My apologies if this issue has already been covered, I tried to search the
archives but didn't find any similar issues.

Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Zack Payton
