    Thanks for the very detailed bug report! Just fixed this in
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/w3af/changeset/4695 based on your

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is a "bash issue". You can

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
