Bug or Feature? (Warning: Servicescan failed to fill info_template...)

I have a script that runs nmap from my RedHat 8.0 server against a bunch of my client's machines and then parses the results. Here's the command I use: ./nmap -sT -sV -O -p 1-65535 -oX - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The problem is that one of the scans keeps throwing the following warnings out to stderr, causing my script to fail: Warning: Servicescan failed to fill info_template (subjectlen: 1448). Too long? Match string was line 1132: v/Apache httpd/$1/$2 Warning: Servicescan failed to fill info_template (subjectlen: 2583). Too long? Match string was line 1132: v/Apache httpd/$1/$2 This occurs with all the versions of nmap I tried (3.50, 3.75, 3.81). The box I'm scanning is a linux box with about 30 open ports. After the warnings spit out, the scan finishes like normal. I don't want to route stderr to /dev/null, as I would like to know if there are real scan-stopping errors. Is this a bug, or is there some setting I can use to turn this off? I peeked at the source code of nmap 3.81. The error is output from service_scan.cc:779 since dotmplsubst(...) returned a nonzero result, which I assume from the dotmplsubst comments means that it didn't successfully substitute stuff in the template. I included the results that do come out below (in regular format). Since the errors above seem to deal with Apache, I'm surprised that Apache still shows up in the results below.
