Yes, David, please use Poppi's patch. I missed this one back in August 
(was too busy at the time and the mail got lost with lots of other 
mailing lists mails) but the patch looks right. It leaves the children 
in charge of initialising the database connection instead of doing it 
by the parent Nessus server in nessusd/attack.c

Please notice that there are some REJECTS you will have to fix 
yourself. Sandro, could you please send patches that do not generate 
REJECTs against the current NESSUS_SQL code?

Please let us all now if that works for you fine. As for the code, as 
far as I know, there is no intention for the moment on adding it to 
the Nessus mainline so it will remain as CVS branch for the time 
being. There is also a lot of work needed in order to get it working 
for some database connections (currently only MySQL is properly 
supported). Any help here is welcome.

Regards

Javier
