I was running nmap 4.00 with these options:

After finishing the first group of 30 hosts, nmap quits with saying:

box(300, 100, 15) called (min,max,num)
QUITTING!

Thanks for this report.  For the next version, I have put in the
following fix.  Let me know if you are still able to reproduce the
problem.
