You're seeing SIGSEGV's in nessusd.messages, right?

Nicolas and I are looking into the problem. At the moment,
there seems to be a problem with smb_nt_ms02-005.nasl which
was updated yesterday and now causes the processes forked by
nessusd to handle a client connection.  Removing it from the
plugins directory and then restarting nessusd appears to be
a workaround. Hopefully we'll have a better solution soon.
