Nessus 2.2.0 - Hanging on down hosts

Has anyone had a problem with 2.2.0 hanging when trying to scan a host
that was down?  If I purposely put just one host as the target that does
not exist, it takes about 56 minutes for the tests to fail and Nessus to
return to a state that I can move around.  If I have a list of hosts and
have a host in the middle that is down, Nessus hangs when it gets to
that host.  Also, once it finally fails against the downed host, it
aborts the rest of the scans, saves what it haves and quits.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
