Nmap Development: End-User question: problem running as root?

[Rachel Willmer <rachel () willmer org>]

I've just installed Nmap V. 2.99RC2 on OpenBSD 3.1.

Running it as an unprivileged user, it appears to work just fine.

Running it as root against a machine I know to be up and accessible,  it 
doesn't detect any ports and even the initial ping fails...
Is this a known problem?

Any pointers welcome...
Rachel
