Hi,

if you can still reproduce this problem with the most recent svn nmap
version I'd like to ask you a few things:

1) does this happen if you only scan the .153 host? Can you give some
more information about that host? Like, is there some service running
on 5988? And if there is, what service is it?

2) would you mind sending that attachment of yours packed with some
more common archiving tool?

cheers,
Diman
