I'm running a scan against the same target and after 60 minutes and over 
20K requests, still no error. Maybe you're using a specific profile 
configuration that leads to this error? Can you please share it?

Agree! The more we test w3af against sites with not common encodings 
(such as Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Cyrillic, etc) the better to ensure 
that w3af is able to crawl any "rare" web site. However I should point 
out that we've made *lots* of progress in this area. w3af now crashes 
for this reason much less than several months ago.

What do you exactly have in mind?
