    I'm working with nmap-os-db and some strange values are in database, 
like:

        Line | Problem description
        -----+--------------------
        1356 | SI=S|OS:S
        2163 | RUD=              *
        2164 | SI=               *
        5253 | RUD=OS:G
        5254 | SI=+S

    * According to 
[http://insecure.org/nmap/osdetect/osdetect-methods.html] the RUD and SI 
can not be clean. The others problems is simple to solve, but the 
inexistent of RUD and SI values are a problem, any sugestion ?

Thanks for the report.  I have removed the two signatures which
wrongly contained "OS:".  I think the problem which caused that was
remedied a while back.  As for the blank RUD and SI fields, I may have
added those as a way to say "any value is fine".  But I'm not sure
Nmap actually works that way.  So I have simply removed the "RID=" and
"SI=" instances, which will allow the signature to match no matter how
those test results go.

These changes have been checked into SVN.

Cheers,
