Microsoft's MS03-039 Scanner Reports False Negatives

This is a little OT...

I performed an MS03-039 scan with with Nessus and
performed a sanity check with Microsoft's MS03-039
scanner, KB824146Scan.exe.  Microsoft's scanner
reported instances of false negatives (scanner said
box was patched when it was not) on devices that were
known not to have been patched.  Has anyone else run
across this?

I'd like to validate that Microsoft's scanner has
problems and that Nessus results are more sound.

Thanks,
Jack
