Re: ncat v6.4 listen mode

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

I believe this should be fixed in r34671. The problem was that on Solaris,
struct sockaddr does not have a sa_len member, so we were falling back to
using sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) in the call to bind(), which is much
too big. I've cleared this up for Ncat's listen mode and for connect mode
where -s or -p were used, but it looks like this might affect some parts of
Nmap itself like the -g, -S, or -e options. I'm tracking this possible
problem as #167 until I can do a more thorough check.

You can get the fix by using the development trunk, or you can try to use
the change linked from the Github bug page (#166) when that syncs with our
Subversion repository.
