There is an issue for some types of platforms.
Nessus results contain the information about the remote host platform. This last is sometimes wrong, so the regular parsing of the information is malformed in the computerbreaker tool.

    Do you know the specific platforms that are causing it?

    The issue happened while scanning a debian os (linux kernel 2.6).
    Nessus results contained as the target platform the following information : "The remote host is running one of these operating systems : .......".
    I can't reproduce the bug, because I don't have access to this machine, but I figured out that the issue is originated from the 11936th nessus plugin.
    The sources of this plugin are available here : http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=viewsrc&id=11936
