bug: no route

[Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon () gmail com>]

Hi,

When I try to scan 127.0.0.1 without any real network connection, I get
this error:

route_dst: Failed to obtain system routes: Premature EOF in /proc/net/route

/proc/net/route is _clear_.  If I add any dummy route, it runs OK.  If I
remove the last route, /proc/net/route still contains the header:

    Iface   Destination Gateway     Flags   RefCnt  Use Metric  Mask    MTU Window  IRTT  

So, addition and deletion of routes helps.  Tested on Linux 2.6.32
(Ubuntu) and Linux 2.6.38 (vanilla).

I wonder - is it a bug of nmap or the kernel?

Thanks,
