If you get such a message when you actually kill the client, it means
that the connection was not lost at all. You may want to do a "ps auxw"
on the nessusd side to see which processes are still there - maybe you
have hydra running (takes a _long_ time) or maybe one of the scanned
box has a personal firewall on it, so your port scanner is not done yet.
