Update on Nmap Suse 9.0 problem

[Fyodor <fyodor () insecure org>]

Here is an interesting update from Richard Moore on the problems with
Nmap on Suse 9.0.  Apparently a workaround is to set HAVE_IP_IP_SUM in
nbase/nbase_config.h in the source tree to zero after you run
./configure but before "make".  Hopefully a better solution allowing
Nmap to automatically detect and work around the issue will become
available.

I and Dirk Mueller have made some progress on this. If you set 
HAS_IP_IP_SUM to 0 then nmap works fine. This sounds like a bad patch 
has been applied to the suse kernel.

Cheers

Rich.
