Good find.  Though it is worth noting that "--host_timeout 201" is a
pretty ridiculous option in the first place.  That gives Nmap only a
fifth of a second to complete scanning (ping scanning in this case)
the host.  If you specify 200, Nmap prints out a nasty message and
exits in disgust.  But that doesn't mean that 201 is perfectly OK :).

Nevertheless, Nmap shouldn't be crashing like this.  I have
implemented a fix for 3.92, which I may even put out to nmap-dev
tonight.

Thanks,
Fyodor
