I suspect that Redhat 8.0 includes a buggy version of the regex
library (glibc-2.2.93-5)
I got a SEGV and Valgrind says it reads uninitialized memory.
It does not happen if you force Nessus to use its own version of the
regex library

Well, try the current CVS version and the NASL interpretor will dump a
core on webmirror.nasl
I looked at it with valgrind: the problem is in the regex library.

You can fix this by enabling Nessus internal regex library.
