Summary: Client segfaults when reconnecting to a changed server 
Resolution: Accepted As Bug
Severity: minor
Version: v2.0
Component: openvas-client
Operating System: Linux
Product: OpenVAS
Hardware: PC
URL: 


Initial Comment:
I've been finally able to get a backtrace for a segfault in the client I've 
been observing for quite a while. See the attached file for the backtrace.

What I did:
1) Start the server.
2) Start the client.
3) Connect to the server.
4) Disconnect from the server, leave client running.
5) Kill server.
6) Perform a minimal change in the server code; in my case, commenting out one 
line in openvasd/oval_plugins.c
7) Start the server.
8) Connect to the server using the previous scope.

The client opens the "Connecting..." window and immediately segfaults.

The backtrace looks like the bug might be Gtk-related.

This bug will hardly be an issue in a non-developer environment, this is why 
I'm setting the severity to "minor".

Has anybody else observed this bug? Questions and suggestions are welcome.
