brute script - bad argument error

[Eli Shemer <eli.shemer () greensql com>]

On the current svn branch, I ran:
nmap -d  -sV --script http-brute.nse -p 80 localhost

and I got this error:
NSE: http-brute against localhost (127.0.0.1:80) threw an error!
/usr/local/nmap/bin/../share/nmap/nselib/brute.lua:721: bad argument #3 to
'format' (number has no integer representation)
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'string.format'
        /usr/local/nmap/bin/../share/nmap/nselib/brute.lua:721: in method
'start'
        /usr/local/nmap/share/nmap/scripts/http-brute.nse:163: in function
</usr/local/nmap/share/nmap/scripts/http-brute.nse:132>
        (...tail calls...)


This patch fixed it for me
[root@localhost nmap]# diff nselib/brute.lua
 /usr/local/nmap/bin/../share/nmap/nselib/brute.lua
721c721
<     result.Statistics = ("Performed %d guesses in %d seconds, average
tps: %d"):format( self.counter, time_diff, tps )
---
>     result.Statistics = ("Performed %d guesses in %d seconds, average
tps: %f"):format( self.counter, time_diff, tps )



and I got the following output in the second run.

|_  Statistics: Performed 50009 guesses in 32 seconds, average tps:
1614.547619
