dns_fingerprint.nasl - silent exit after 3 timeouts, why?

I have come across some DNS server (probably LAN Suite 602 on Windows server,
but who knows...) that was not fingerprinted by Nessus, nor it was a message in
the report that it couldn't be fingerprinted etc.

So I increased the magic constant "3" in dns_fingerprint.nasl:

    54  function probe(message)
    ...    
    62   if ( ! r ) { timeouts ++; if (timeouts > 3) exit(0);  return "t:";}
                                                  ^
and the result is:

1:t:t:t:t:t:t:t:0X:0X:t:0X:15X:0Z0X:0X:0X:t:t:t:0X:0X:4:t:

So the magic constant "3" should be upgraded to "12" ?
