Great!  It is nice to see a solution come out before I even got around
to analyzing the problem very deeply :).  For the next version of Nmap
(due out soon), I have upgraded from Libpcap 0.6.2 to 0.7.1.  That
version does NOT seem to contain your fix, so I have applied it.
Since the underlying problem is apparently in Libpcap, I would
recommend filing a bug at (
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=53067&atid=469577 ) or
sending a description of the problem and your patch to
tcpdump-workers () tcpdump org .  I have found that they are generally
quite responsive.

Cheers,
Fyodor
