Errr... you diff turns :

into:

Which is the same thing. However we found a bug in network.c a little
while ago (fixed in 2.2.4 which will be released today). Try to install
Nessus 2.2.4 from CVS[1] and let me know if it solves your nessus-fetch
issues.

Thanks,

Yup; quite correct.

I'll try the 2.2.4 code and see if it is any better.
