More information:: In response to the probe "0x00, 0x00,0x27, 0x29", the port 
in question returns "0x00, 0x00", which is less than the minimum of 4 bytes 
requested by the script.  If I run the script alone:
# openvas-nasl -X -t <target> -d gb_sap_router_detect.nasl
And, on the target, I run:
$ ncat -kl 3299
Then the script times out after 5 seconds.  But if I press  "enter" on ncat 
when probed, the script hangs forever.  I think this is expected.

When running from OpenVAS 7/Greenbone using the "Full and fast" configuration, 
the TCP connection is terminated after 120 seconds.  I don't know why this 
times out -- the "plugins_timeout" is 320 seconds.

When running on OpenVAS 8, it never times out, and needs to be stopped manually.

I have tcpdumps of both scans, but it doesn't tell much beyond the above.  I'll 
see if I can find a simple way to reproduce this.

I've never heard about this. Yes, please run some more tests or let me know how 
i can reproduce this.
