got sd > 2047 in pos_scan on windows XP + java

[stephane parenton <stephane () parenton com>]

Hi everyone,

I try to run nmap 3.27 (command line version) from a java class. When 
run from a linux box, the java/nmap(2.54beta31) runs perfectly, there is 
no trouble. but the same class runs into troubles when on win XP. we 
have an trace like this :

the nmap line is : nmap.exe -sT -P0 -p 21,22,23,25,110 -oX 
g:\webxml\fortestingonly.xml one_single_ip

OUTPUT>
OUTPUT>Starting nmap 3.27 ( www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2003-06-01 08:49 
Paris, Madrid (heure d'été)
ERROR>got sd > 2047 in pos_scan
ERROR>
ERROR>QUITTING!

the exit value is 1 !

What i don't understand is the nmap command runs perfectly from a 
command line, so i thought at the beginning that it was only a java 
problem... but it doesn't seems to be ONLY java... because it is nmap 
that fails and the xml file is not ended. actually it seems to stop when 
starting the port scan of the first ip tested...

for those interested in the java code, here's a sample.... (cmd is the 
nmap line)...

if(System.getProperty("os.name").indexOf("Linux")>=0){
           p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
       }else{
          p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C " + cmd);
          }
...
int exitVal = p.waitFor();
...


has anyone heard of this problem or has clues in order to run nmap the 
right way ?
TIA
Stephane
