I installed nessus 2.2.8 on three machines today, one 32 bit FC3 machine, one AMD x86_64 FC4 machine and on my x86_64 FC5 laptop. I did this in reverse order: I couldn't get nessus to run on my laptop (except against localhost, or if I disabled all scanning options), then I couldn't get it to run on my desktop, then in desperation I tried the FC3 machine, where it ran fine.

If this is a Fedora / 64 bit issue, I can't believe there's no-one else who's experienced this, yet the last mention of a similar issue on these lists I can find was in August 2005.

Can anyone give me a clue as to what is happening and how to fix this?

Running gdb against one of the hung nessusd processes running ping_host.nasl gave the following output:
