OpenVAS Users,

I notice one particular scan is never really ending. The openvassd just eats 
CPU resources such as:

root     14054 35.7  0.5 131564 48096 ?        RN   14:14   2:07 openvassd: 
testing 83.219.68.115 
(/opt/openvas/var/lib/openvas/plugins/pre2008/htdig_xss.nasl)

When I strace this, it floods my screen with:

"""
recvfrom(8, 0x4916b90, 5, 0, 0, 0)      = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
select(9, [8], [8], NULL, {1, 0})       = 1 (out [8], left {0, 999999})
recvfrom(8, 0x4916b90, 5, 0, 0, 0)      = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
select(9, [8], [8], NULL, {1, 0})       = 1 (out [8], left {0, 999999})
recvfrom(8, 0x4916b90, 5, 0, 0, 0)      = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
select(9, [8], [8], NULL, {1, 0})       = 1 (out [8], left {0, 999999})
recvfrom(8, 0x4916b90, 5, 0, 0, 0)      = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
select(9, [8], [8], NULL, {1, 0})       = 1 (out [8], left {0, 999999})
recvfrom(8, 0x4916b90, 5, 0, 0, 0)      = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily 
unavailable)
"""

Anyone any idea what is going wrong it? I believe recvfrom should be blocking 
under normal circumstances.
I have no idea what is actually not available here. Anyone any idea?
