Errors with -sV and -PE using IPv6

[Will Cladek <william.cladek () nrl navy mil>]

A couple of problems I've noticed with nmap 4.52 compiled on a Red Hat 4 x86_64 machine, scanning IPv6 hosts:

1.  When giving it the -PE option, the following error message comes up:

nmap: tcpip.cc:931: pcap_t* my_pcap_open_live(const char*, int, int, int): Assertion `device != __null' failed.

I'm guessing ICMP ping host discovery still isn't supported with IPv6, but there should probably be a more useful error 
message.  Previously, I believe no error was generated at all -- it simply didn't do an ICMP ping.

2.  When scanning certain systems with version detection (-sV), certain hosts cause nmap to simply give a Segmentation 
Fault error and exit.  Specifically, this seems to happen when scanning Solaris hosts.

Has anyone else experienced these problems with IPv6 scanning?

Thanks,

Will
