Oh, and one other thing. After adding -ldl nmap quits with a bus error
when I scan a local or remote host.

        $ ./nmap localhost
        
        Starting Nmap 4.23RC1 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-11-11 13:29 MST
        Bus Error (core dumped)

The same thing happens with

        ./nmap -sL localhost
        ./nmap -sL -n localhost
        ./nmap -sP localhost

But running just

        ./nmap

correctly prints out usage instructions.

But, if I compile with "make debug", everything works just fine. I don't
have root on this machine. I tracked the error down to line 242 of
services.cc:

    sp->ratio = current->ratio;

Maybe some alignment problem?
