Nmap Development: Re: NMAP : Different interpretation of "filtered" ports depending on -sS or -sT options. Bug ?

NMAP v3.75 for Windows.           OS= Windows XP (tested with SP1 and SP2)

I have just done the test with a Linux Fedora Core 2 box running NMAP v3.50, 
and the output of NMAP is right (port appear as closed independently of 
the -sS or -sT option).
Someone as done the test on a Linux box running v3.75 ?

I also noticed that when I'm using the -sT option, NMAP displays the results 
only 10 seconds after that the last packet corresponding to the scan has 
been received (no filters are set in my Ethereal :) ).
This delay of 10 seconds is certainly a symptom of the problem.
