netmask leads to OpenVAS-Client crashing on connection.  All further attempts 
to execute the client fail when the client attempts to read the report.nbe 
created during the aborted scan.  It can be recreated as follows:

$ OpenVAS-Client -i report.nbe -o moo.html
[10164] Could not allocate a pointer of size 34359738377 !

Using a report.nbe of:

timestamps|||scan_start|Thu Jun 19 14:17:23 2008|
timestamps||localhost|host_start|Thu Jun 19 14:17:23 2008|
timestamps||localhost|host_end|Thu Jun 19 14:17:23 2008|
timestamps|||scan_end|Thu Jun 19 14:17:23 2008|

Nessus 2.2.10 is also affected:

$ nessus -v
nessus (Nessus) 2.2.10 for Linux

(C) 1998 - 2006 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
        SSL used for client - server communication
$ nessus -i report.nbe -o foo.html
[10172] Could not allocate a pointer of size 34359738377 !
