the guy who wrote the scanner implemented a reverse loop to acquire

Might be to evade some IDS rules that check for connections with 
increasing port numbers...

Or he just wanted to be different and hacked the kernel a bit so that
the TCP/IP stack decreases the source port numbers instead of increasing
them. :)
