Nmap labeled ethernet address problem

Nmap seems to quit when it encounters labeled ethernet addresses on Linux. I don't know if anyone actually uses that feature, but it still would be nice to fix. There is an Ubuntu bug about it filed at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nmap/+bug/51975 . And here are detailed reproduction instructions sent by LaMont Jones (Nmap Debian maintainer):
With 2.6.24-16-generic (ubuntu/hardy), and nmap 4.60, I get the following: # ip addr add 1.1.1.1/32 dev eth0 label eth0vip # ip addr list dev eth0 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:12:79:de:38:13 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.34.35.49/28 brd 192.34.35.63 scope global eth0 inet 1.1.1.1/32 scope global eth0vip inet6 fe80::212:79ff:fede:3813/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever # nmap -sP -PI 192.34.35.1-5 Starting Nmap 4.60 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2008-04-17 17:33 MDT Failed to determine the netmask of eth0vip!: No such device (19)
If anyone is intrested in fixing a small discrete bug like this, please do! Otherwise, maybe one of the upcoming Google GSoC sponsored students will do it. The winners are supposed to be announced by Google on Monday at Noon PST! I can't spill the beans now, but let me just say it is a VERY impressive list!
