Re: ARP scan (?) bug in Nmap 5.59BETA1

[Ukjente <ukjente () yandex ru>]

Hi David,

I'd just updated to the latest build on svn (r26323) and it seems to be
working fine now. If it happens again, I'll report along with output
from those two commands, but hopefully whatever the error was is fixed!

Thanks!
