​That was a thing bothering me for some time, i just didn't have the time
to fix, the fix should be sent upstream[1], i already sent patches to nmap
on GH and upstream is very responsive, just PR and wait. Of course at the
meantime you can d/patch the fix too.

I started a bug triaging when i first started uploading nmap, but i think
there's still lots of bugs which needs processing, so your help is highly
appreciated :)

I think this one should be sent upstream too, i'm not sure if upstream
wants to keep the file though, but as you can see its 8 years old and i
have the impression that nobody uses this file and it ends up on the
release by accident[2].
