This is not by design, it should be a bug. Which version are you
using? If it's not threading2, could you test it there using the
console UI? (GUI is broken in threading2 at the moment). These steps
might be useful for you to debug:

    git clone git://github.com/andresriancho/w3af.git
    cd w3af
    git checkout -b theading2

    ./w3af_console -p full_audit
        target set target http://192.168.2.5:80/
        start
        exit

    ./w3af_console -p full_audit
        target set target http://192.168.2.5/
        start
        exit

I remember a similar problem being reported a while ago, I think I
fixed it in threading2, but it's never bad to double check.
