No space for further MAC prefixes

Hi everyone!

Using nmap4.11 (under Linux) with /usr/local/share/nmap/nmap-mac-prefixes from 
nmap-4.20ALPHA7 distribution leads to nmap reporting this error:
"No space for further MAC prefixes from nmap-mac-prefixes.  Increase 
MacTable.table_capacity"

This is due to nmap4.11 MACLookup.cc file containing:
        "MacTable.table_capacity = 9521"
And nmap-4.20ALPHA7's nmap-mac-prefixes file being 9570 lines long.

If I increase MacTable.table_capacity to 9570 everything goes fine.

I know that using --datadir and some nmap4.11 specific directory everything 
should work, but that seems to be too much work just for 49 bytes in that 
mac-table.

Perhaps it´s better to get the file length before reading it, so we can use 
different nmap versions with the same data files?

Cheers
