Great! It is nice to see a solution come out before I even got around
to analyzing the problem very deeply :). For the next version of Nmap
(due out soon), I have upgraded from Libpcap 0.6.2 to 0.7.1. That
version does NOT seem to contain your fix, so I have applied it.
Since the underlying problem is apparently in Libpcap, I would
recommend filing a bug at (
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=53067&atid=469577 ) or
sending a description of the problem and your patch to
tcpdump-workers_at_tcpdump.org . I have found that they are generally
quite responsive.
Cheers,
Fyodor
