Heh. I love users who just decide one day to do an "insane mode" (-T5) scan of 24 million IP addresses :). That is certainly a good way to catch bugs, as a memory leak small enough that nobody has ever noticed/reported suddenly grows large enough to overcome your beefy machine. With the help of the excellent, free valgrind utility (http://valgrind.kde.org/), I was able to narrow the leak down pretty quickly. I have released an unofficial version 3.77 in the Nmap dist directory ( http://download.insecure.org/nmap/dist/?M=D ). Let me know if you still have any problems. The list of changes is at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_changelog.html as always.
