my first approach to this would be ignore nessus/attack.c:
restore_attack() and instead call comm_restore_session() 
directly from nessus/monitor_dialog.c:monitor_dialog_setup().
Coarse test show that this seems to work.

However, the questions remains: what was the stuff in restore_attack()
good for?
