I agree with you that nmap shouldn't crash on bogus scrips. The  
problem you are having is that you are trying to set the service  
version on a port when you aren't actually performing a version scan.  
NSE usually handles this by excluding scripts of the category  
"version" if -sV is not specified. Otherwise the behavior is  
unpredictable. I thought that this factoid had made it into the docs  
but I seem to be mistaken. I will put this on my NSE-fixing TODO list  
for what it's worth :)

cheers,
Diman
