nmap crashing solaris?

I have read some reports that nmap has the ability to crash various 
versions of Solaris when scanned with some specific options.  However, I 
have not been able to reproduce any negative results on my Solaris 2.6 
machine.  Therefore, I don't know if 1) the reports were wrong, 2) my 
tests were wrong (wrong options?) 3) my machine has some patch that fixes 
the problem.

If anybody has seen a SPARC Solaris 2.5.1 or 2.6 machine get affected by 
an nmap scan, I would greately appreciate hearing about it.

Thank you.
