I got these errors, that resulted in cpu => 50% and BeEF freeze,
when playing with Burp Scanner on two resources, using the following increased scanning engine config:

thread count: 20
retried on net failure: 2
pause before retry (millis): 500

So yes, very hazard settings.
I was hoping to get some errors, to see where things can hang.
Here we go :-)
