if this is OpenVAS 9 then it could be possible that this is caused by a
bug in the plugin scheduler of the scanner. This specific bug got fixed
in the openvas-scanner-5.1 branch last year but is not released yet in a
new OpenVAS 9 release.

The bug might be triggered sooner or later by any new NVT added to the
feed which moves the "dependency chain" of NVTs to execute some of them
earlier or later. Depending on the exposed services on the target it
might be also possible that it isn't triggered at all.
