Thanks! I have fixed those for the next version of Nmap, and will
upload the fixed version to the web site by tomorrow.

Thanks, this works great. The patch is reversed (the old file should
be the first argument, then the new file). But don't worry about it.
In the future, you don't even need to generate patches for this sort
of issue. Just tell me what to change (e.g. vestigates => vestiges)
and I can do the search&replace. Or if it is easier for you to make
all the changes and just send a patch, that works equally well.

Cheers,
