Re: never terminating scripts

Hi,

I investigated this issue with both trunk/ and
nmap-exp/henri/nsock-newengines/ and I'm not sure what's going on.
According to my logs and strace when testing, nsock and NSE were
always in a consistent state.

Still, some scans took ages. This was due to certain server-side SSL
configs for which (some) scripts have too short timeouts (like
http-form-fuzzer that can't send its super long requests) or too long
ones (like http-slowloris-check and its 500 seconds timeouts).

I'm a bit confused, I don't know whether nsock is not reacting
properly somewhere or what we observed was normal behavior. By
adjusting the timeouts I mentioned above it seems to just work(tm).

Regards
