State: open

Arachni's XML-RPC interface crashed with the error in the issue title after a long scan.

This occurred when scanning the OWASP Broken Web Application, after about 4 hours. The machine that the scan was running on had about 3GB RAM free.

The scan parameters were very simple:
"audit_headers": true,
"audit_links": true,
"audit_forms": true,
"audit_cookies": true,
"user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0"
All modules selected

The same scan with the command-line interface ran for more than 8 hours (when it was terminated manually).
Command-line parameters: ./arachni --debug -v --only-positives http://192.168.56.101/

Arachni version: 0.3 (CDE package)
