Hi John,
I have noticed Nessus to detect ports open to later report them as being closed, but not to the point that crashes the server itself.
I believe it may have to do with the service running at: 40193/tcp (Novell Netware IP). Sending random packets to this port may cause the server to crash according to information available ala Google.

Subject: Nessus against Novell file servers.
Hello everybody,
I was doing a vulnerability assessment on a production using Nessus(Only non-dangerous plugins were enabled) and some of the Novell file servers went down. I was forced to stop the test.
Have anyone experienced the Novell problem with Nessus? What can do to stop crashing these servers?
Thanks in advance
John
