this currently works as expected with the recent OpenVAS releases listed at http://www.openvas.org/install-source.html. When changing e.g. the "Timing policy: " of Nmap (NASL wrapper) from the Default of "Normal" to "Aggressive" the following can be seen via "ps auxwww|grep [n]map": root 14596 0.0 0.1 62396 15152 ?
