So if 
the guy who wrote the scanner implemented a reverse loop to acquire 
ports, that can account for the behavior seen in your logs.

Might be to evade some IDS rules that check for connections with 
increasing port numbers...

Or he just wanted to be different and hacked the kernel a bit so that
the TCP/IP stack decreases the source port numbers instead of increasing
them. :)
