NMap bug report

Hello I'm very pleased with NMap. It's one of the best, if not the best port scanning and host discovery software ever written, so i want to contribute by reporting a bug i found recently while port scanning. I am a programmer myself, and i'm quite familiar with the WinPCap library, as i have used it myself for a packet forwarding software of mine... The following command generates a bug: nmap 10.21.7.1-254 -S 10.21.7.2 -e eth0 -P0 -sS OS: Windows XP NMap Version: 4.01 My real IP: 10.21.7.56 I suppose the problem is that you can't portscan your own IP using a TCP SYN scan (-sS). When i try nmap 10.21.7.56 -sS, the program gives me an error saying that i can't do that. But when i spoof my IP (-S 10.21.7.2 -e eth0 -P0), the program allows me to do a -sS scan of all 10.21.7.1-254 IPs, and it crashes (restarts) my whole computer when the scanning reaches my IP address (10.21.7.56)...i think this is an inevitable scenario, but i though reporting this could be useful...
