Re: What is this error?

[Michael Pattrick <mpattrick () rhinovirus org>]

Hey David,

I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is I don't
understand what that error message is trying to say ether. The good
news is that error message was completely removed from Nmap in
revision 11548 on 'Dec-29/2008'(according to a quick svn history
search). So at the very least an upgrade should produce a better error
message, it may even solve the problem completely.

Cheers,
Michael Pattrick
