Thanks, but have you tested this? One problem is that I'm guessing it
would break Zenmap on Windows. It might cause trouble on other
platforms too. I think we need someone who can reproduce the
segmentation fault issue to find a more direct way to solve the
problem. It is OK for Nmap to quit in this case, we just need a
better error than segmentation fault. On my systems, I do get a
better error message (exception) from Zenmap. For example, what if
DISPLAY is set but it is wrong? Then someone might get a segmentation
fault despite this $DISPLAY check.
Cheers,
