FYI: just finished up a scan of a network with 1200 hosts and now panic's

I did not install the second set of patches (or third) but only that first
set ti utils.c that prevented the /procpid% scanning.

Not only doesn't it crash, but it seems to be faster.

It is a LOT faster than nessus 1.09
(scan of 1200 on nessus 1.09 took 28 hours before, now takes about 4 house
with max_hosts = 30, max_threads = 20 on a 850mhz PII with 256MB ram.
