Well after dusting off the old C knowledge I started looking through the source yesterday.  I can confirm that I have 
been having this problem since 3.84Alpha1 on Windows.  From what I can tell the issue is happening in targets.cc around 
line 416 when it attempts to resolve MAC addresses of hosts.  My C knowledge is pathetic at best but I believe that 
nmap is getting into this block of code by accident as it looks like it should never hit this section unless it is 
actually on the local subnet.  Also has anyone seen this error on anything other than Windows XP???
