    Hi,
    
    I've found another breakage - under Nessus 1, ereg worked over multiple 
    lines, but under Nessus 2 it works only on a single line; you must use 
    egrep for multiple lines. This has caused a plugin we use here to break, 
    ever since we changed to Nessus 2. As "ereg" appears in 428 plugins I 
    imagine this is just the tip of the iceburg.
    
    Another 1 -> 2 problem was that the HTTP functions now use HTTP/1.1 by 
    default. This broke 10759.
    
    What other transitional problems have people encountered?
    
    What can we do about this?
    
    Paul
