I have seen similar behavior with 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, and 1.2.3. After
Nessusd has been running for a while (days), it still claims to
load/execute all the plugins, but it is ONLY executing the *.nes
(compiled) plugins. It does NOT execute any of the *.nasl plugins. This is
with Nessus compiled from source tarballs on x86 Debian (latest stable).
Although not well testied, doing a 'kill -1' on nessusd does NOT appear to
solve the problem. However, doing a 'kill -15' and then completely
restarting the daemon fixes it every time.
