Retina scans caused broadcast storms

Has anyone ever caused a full blown broadcast storm by using the Retina
Security Scanner.

Its looks as if I may caused a severe slow down on a network recently and think
the scanner may have caused it. What I am trying to determine is whether
existing problems in the switching enviroment may have been exaserbated by the
use of the scanner.

Anybody else ever experience these sorts of issues with Retina?
