Thanks for the report. It appears to be the ping scanner that is
broken (hence "0 hosts up", so the SYN scanner is not tried). I
investigated with my OpenBSD box and it looks like I forgot to set the
IP_HDRINCL sockopt. Apparently Linux doesn't care, but *BSD does.
I'll have a fix for the next version, which I hope to release within a
day.

Cheers,

PS: I also found a problem that could lead to a deadlock during a port
    scan (ALPHA6 only). If you experience this, try adding
    "--min_parallelism 1" . Will be fixed in ALPHA7.
