Hi, I built openvas-nasl in windows with cygwin. Now everything looks fine except that when running the script "rip_detect.nasl", as I found out, it runs slow and the trace log (I added time stamps) shows:

While it works fine in cent-os. BTW, there seems to be not so much discuss threads in openvas-devel mailing list, no questions no answers. I posted this question to it and there's no answer either. Thanks! flymolon
