Synscanning is seriously broken on FreeBSD. 

For instance...

$ sudo nmap -v -d -sT -T4 -p 80,443 140.192.1.0/24
Nmap run completed -- 256 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 10.644 seconds

$ nmap -sT -T4 -d -v -p 22,80 140.192.1.0/24
Nmap run completed -- 256 IP addresses (16 hosts up) scanned in 12.600 seconds

Anytime we run nmap (with any option) as root, it fails. If using a
normal connect() scan, version scan, etc., from an unprivileged user
works without problems.
