-P0 still attempts ARP scan

I have looked through the source, but i can't figure out why Nmap is  
doing an ARP ping scan when i give it -P0. Is this a bug? I'm pasting  
a log to demonstrate the problem. The -p80 option isn't necessary,  
but makes the log a lot shorter:

11:41 foobaz@port200:~]% sudo nmap -v -P0 -p80 10.171.32.1
