I was able to reproduce this, and I've attached a patch that fixes it for me.

Between 4.20 and now, "Global Pings" have been implemented.  This is
where it seemed to occur.  Nmap would send a global ping for ARP,
which called a sendPingProbe() function which didn't have any code
regarding ARP, hence the assertion failure.

Can you try this patch out?

I would commit it, but I'd prefer David and/or Fyodor to take a look
to make sure it's the Right Thing to do.

Thanks,
Kris Katterjohn
