No German, I am stuck with english.
as for hanging processes, this is probaly due to the bug in the FBSD
distributer libpcap, hanging on pcap_next().

I got those also in nessus 1.09
this was fixed in nessusd 1.1x, which uses its one libpcap.

I would be interested in seeing if nessus 1.10 or 1.11x panics freebsd at
your site.
