RE: Nmap on WinXP Pro?

["Stou Sandalski" <tangui () cell2000 net>]

I compiled beta 2.54beta30 on Saturday on XP using .NET beta2, and with
a debug configuration it worked except that I got an assertion about a
variable being accessed before being initialized every time it started
doing a scan on a host, on each separate host of a .* scan it gave the
assertion, but clicking ignore made it work.  I did a release build to
remove the assertion, and it worked perfectly.

P.S.
The assertion was:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
---------------------------
Debug Error!

Program:
...p-2.54BETA30\nmap-2.54BETA30\mswin32\nmap-2.54BETA30\nmap.exe
Module: ...p-2.54BETA30\nmap-2.54BETA30\mswin32\nmap-2.54BETA30\nmap.exe
