Hi Norbert, very interesting, because we have received reports that running 6.01 xpu7 in LAN/WAN coupled (slow) networks with many hosts down. We have an open call at ISS for that one. One of their hints was that a large number of hosts down eats up a lot of memory. We had no chance to monitor the event ourselves and could not reproduce this so far. What machine are you running on? Did you monitor system cpu and memory? What about scanner options? Did you have netstat running and monitor the output? We are very much interested to learn more about this strange behaviour. Which policy did you use? What checks were active when the scanner stopped? Did you check diagnostic logs? Any more ideas?
